E.R. Eddison. Particularly
The Worm Ouroboros, but also
Mistress of Mistresses and any of his other books that you can find, really. I also particularly enjoyed
The Well of the Unicorn by Fletcher Pratt. And as I've said, Tolkien's
The Book of Lost Tales, Part One and
Part Two and
The Lays of Beleriand are amazing, and a far cry from his later, more famous material, and much closer to Eddison and Smith than anything. Regards.
