Edward Gibbon. He was an absolutely fantastic storyteller. I read Decline and Fall and was mesmerised. This whole world opened before my eyes, strange and yet familiar, and I could see the cruel emperors and desperate generals and bloodied armies and fleets of storm-tossed ships and crumbling city walls being overrun by climbing vines. I was hooked.
