These tales are of the things that befell gods and men in Yarnith, Averon, and Zarkandhu, and in the other countries of my dreams. No better summary can be given. The stories here are a lush tapestry of language, conjuring images of people, places, and things that cannot possibly exist yet somehow ring true. You'll read of Slid, an upstart young god; the Dawnchild, who loses her golden ball; the hideous Pestilence; Time and how it overthrew even what the gods favored; laughter and prophecies, doom and hope, gods and human beings J.R.R. Tolkien is often credited with creating the fantasy genre as we know it. But Dunsany was one of a handful of fantasy writers who came first--creating gods, cities, heroes, and legends long before Tolkien penned the Silmarillion. As a result, his stories are refreshingly original and untainted by any other writer's work. Fans of classic fantasy--or readers looking for something fresh and free of cliches--will enjoy this lavish book. One of the greatest writers of [the] century . . . Immensely significant. --Katharine Kerr. In a class with the Tolkien books. --L. Sprague de Camp. Lord Dunsany's words . . . opened my eyes to otherworldly beauty and enchantment. --Esther M. Friesner. One of the the seminal fantasies of the century. --John Clute. All pure ore. --Ursula K. Le Guin. Newly designed and typeset in a 6-by-9-inch format by Waking Lion Press.
