==Biography==
Born in Adel, Leeds, Eddison's early education came from a series of private tutors, whom he shared with the young Arthur Ransome. Ransome recalls Eddison's daring and machiavellian methods of getting rid of unpopular teachers in his autobiography.〔Arthur Ransome, ''The Autobiography of Arthur Ransome'', ed. R. Hart-Davis (London: Jonathan Cape, 1976), 37–40.〕 Afterwards Eddison was educated at Eton and Trinity College, Oxford and joined the Board of Trade in 1906, retiring in 1938 to work full-time on his fiction. He was also a member of the Viking Society for Northern Research.〔"Books and Authors", ''The New York Times Book Review'', 13 June 1926, p.23〕 During a distinguished career he was appointed a Companion of the Order of St. Michael and St. George in 1924 and a Companion of the Order of the Bath in 1929 for public service with the Board of Trade. He and his wife had one child, a daughter. Their son-in-law, Kenneth Hesketh Higson, a Royal Air Force pilot, died in an air fight over Italy in the Second World War.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Works of E.R.
