Hard cover, 8vo in publisher's paper-covered tan cloth boards with black lettering. Photographic frontispiece of Lord Dunsany in military uniform. COLLATION: viii ,[2],111,[1] pp. CONDITION: Very Good. Heavy foxing to endpapers and light foxing throughout. Corners of covers bumped. Some browning to covers. Tissue guard to frontispiece browned. ** Collection of very short stories by Lord Dunsany (1878-1957), a pioneering fantasy writer who created his own mythologies around the ancient gods. These tales tell of the gods encounters with the Edwardian world, with a fatalistic tone. "The Dream of King Karna-Vootra" conjures up Orientalist dream-visions worthy of the best of Clark Ashton Smith or H.P. Lovecraft. Each story is a tiny world of its own. L.W. Currey "Science Fiction and Fantasy Authors" p169 (although this is the second printing a year later).
