I think it says a lot abut Eddison's priorities that one of the only completed chapters in this book focuses on the detailed descriptions of Pre-Raphaelite-ey things in a forest pool. All the politics and warfare that would be the focus of *most* fantasy writers is sketched out in rough detail, whilst the really important stuff was the the hair-combing, flower admiring and suchlike.
