Edward John Morton Drax Plunkett, 18th Baron Dunsany, published as Lord Dunsany, is the famous author of numerous novels, plays and literary tales, and one of the pioneers of the fantasy genre itself. He was perhaps the first in European literature to create an entire “secondary world” - with its own cosmology, mythology, history and geography. His mythology influenced Lovecraft, Tolkien and Borges, and his paradoxical humor and constant play with reader expectations influenced Neil Gaiman and all modern ironic fantasy. This book brings to your attention six collections of the master - “The Gods of Pegana”, “Time and the Gods”, “The Sword of Welleran and Other Stories”, “Tales of the Dreamer”, “The Book of Miracles”, “The Newest Book of Miracles” - as well as the novel “ Daughter of the King of Elfland." Here the god of joy and sweet-voiced musicians can meet the god of dreams and fantasies, here the people of the fields will never reach Carcassonne, here a 250-year-old centaur finally goes in search of a bride, and the parliament of a village located near the border of the Magic Land decides to rule their land sorcerer...Some of the works are published in new translations, the rest - in a new edition. The publication is accompanied by illustrations by the famous storyteller Sidney Syme, made for the first publications of Dunsany's books.
