A pioneer in the realm of imaginative literature, Lord Dunsany has gained a cult following for his influence on modern fantasy literature, including such authors as J. R. R. Tolkien and H. P. Lovecraft. This unique collection of short stories ranges over five decades of work.

Liberal selections of earlier tales - including the entire Gods of Pegana as well as such notable works as "Idle Days of the Yann" and "The Fortress Unvanquishable, Save for Sacnoth" - are followed by memorable later tales, including several about the garrulous traveler Joseph Jorkens and the outrageous murder tale "The Two Bottles of Relish".

Throughout, the stories are united by Dunsany's cosmic vision, his impeccable and mellifluous prose, and his distinctively Irish sense of whimsy.

This was a great collection of Lord Dunsany’s best work. He was a major influence on HP Lovecraft, among others, and does not get the recognition he deserves.

The narration is excellent. The notes by S. T. Joshi are very helpful and informative.

Excellent Tour de Force of Dunsany

I largely enjoyed this collection of Dunsany's work, and I mostly listened to it in small bites, trying to take it one or two stories at a time. I found the narration a little dry, and this may have affected my overall enjoyment. Still, I think it's worth picking up a hard copy of this collection to read again in my own voice, if only to better understand Dunsany's style.

Interesting compilation
