R. Eddison, [1922]\nTo W. G. E. and to my friends K. H. and G. C. L. M. I dedicate this book\nIt is neither allegory nor fable but a Story to be read for its own sake.\nThe proper names I have tried to spell simply. The e in Carc\u00eb is long, like that in Phryne, the o in Krothering short and the accent on that syllable: Corund is accented on the first syllable, Prezmyra on the second, Brandoch Daha on the first and fourth, Gorice on the last syllable, rhyming with thrice: Corinius rhymes with Flaminius, Galing with sailing, La Fireez with desire ease: ch is always guttural, as in loch.\nE.
