'What separates the grown-up authors from the boys is the quality of the writing and David Eddings is one of the best' Western Mail 'Others may vie for the top position! but Eddings reigns supreme' Publishers Weekly

Born in Washington State in 1931, David Eddings grew up near Seattle. He graduated from the University of Washington and went on to serve in the US Army. Subsequently he worked as a buyer for the Boeing company and taught college-level English. His first novel was a contemporary adventure, but he soon began a spectacular career as a fantasy writer with his series The Belgariad. He consolidated his success with two further popular series, The Malloreon and The Elenium.
