About this book

Lord Dunsany gathered these fifty-one very short pieces, some barely a page long, into one of his most concentrated books. Half fable and half prose poem, they turn again and again to death, time, and the fate of proud cities, often letting a single image carry the whole weight of a story. A hero meets his own legend, the seasons argue, an old god watches the world forget him. The tone shifts from wry to mournful to quietly terrible, but the polished, incantatory prose stays constant throughout. First published in 1915 and sometimes titled The Food of Death, the collection shows the Irish fantasist working in miniature.

About the author

Lord Dunsany - BDeBooks
Lord Dunsany

Lord Dunsany developed imagined mythologies, remote kingdoms and compact wonder tales across fiction and drama. Born Edward John Moreton Drax Plunkett, he published The Gods of Pegāna in 1905 as his first book, introducing a created pantheon in a deliberately archaic style.
