Description:
With the reissue of this long-out-of-print classic, today's readers of epic fantasy can discover the brilliant roots of the genre they love ... and the inspiration for such masters of the form as J. R. R. Tolkien and Peter Beagle. Lord Dunsany's marriage of the traditional fairy-tale structure with a fully realized mythological world fraught with danger, adventure, fascinating characters, and spiritual and philosophical meaning has established his work as a cornerstone of fantasy fiction.
