The Sword of Welleran and Other Stories

An influential fantasy writer and a key figure in the Irish literary renaissance, Edward J. M. D. Plunkett, the eighteenth Baron Dunsany (1878-1957), produced a trove of gems of the imagination. The twelve stories included here are some of his best. They will take you on a remarkable journey to places that sometimes seem soft and pleasant, sometimes bleak and ominous - but always surprising.
