A classic collection of short stories from one of the twentieth century's most influential fantasy authors.

"[Dunsany's] rich language, his cosmic point of view, his remote dream-world, and his exquisite sense of the fantastic all appeal to me more than anything else in modern literature." -H. P. Lovecraft
