Edward John Morton Drax Plunkett, 18th Baron Dunseiny, published as Lord Dunseiny, is a famous author of many novels, plays and literary tales, who was at the origin of the fantasy genre itself. He was almost the first in European literature to create a whole "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 offers you six collections of the master - "The Gods of Pegana", "Time and the Gods", "The Sword of Welleran and Other Stories", "Dreamer's Tales", "The Book of Wonders", "The Newest Book of Wonders" - as well as the novel "The 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 the village, located near the border of the Magic Land, decides that their land ruled by a magician ... Some of the works are published in new translations, the rest - in a new edition. The edition is accompanied by illustrations by the famous storyteller Sidney Syme, made for the first publications of Dunsayne's books.
