Dunsany, Lord A DREAMER'S TALES
USA Wildside Press 1910 158715306 First Edition Reprint Private Press Trade Paperback Fine
Here are more tales of the exotic and the wonderful, by the greatest fantasist of the Twentieth Century. Lord Dunsany (rhymes with "rainy") ranged long distances beyond the fields we know, into the lands of Dream, returning with reports that are fantastic, sparkling, and very enjoyable. Here are jeweled cities and ruined ones, sailors and kings of Thebes, quiet rivers and the cold surface of the Moon. Herein are the stories of the tribe that invented first a weapon and then a god; of the city that, stone by stone, went mad; of the man who disovered the secret of the universe and remembered some of it... Dunsany's prose, always scintillant yet always sharply focused, has influenced the work of fantasy writers during his life and after. His name has become an adjective. His work has become a standard. It will delight the reader over and over again. Originally published in 1910, long out of print, A Dreamer's Tales contains sixteen examples of the high strange art of Dunsanian short fantasy. The cover for this edition is by fantasy legend Tim Kirk.

Dunsany, Lord Edward John Moreton Drax Plunkett & S. T. Joshi (editor) The Complete Pegana: All the Tales Pertaining to the Fabulous Realm of Pegana
USA Chaosium, Inc. 2006 1568821905 / 9781568821900 First Edition Reprint Private Press Trade Paperback Fine
All the Tales Pertaining to the Fabulous Realm of Pegana, by Lord Dunsany. "...Dunsany has influenced me more than anyone else expect Poe-his rich language, his cosmic point of view, his remote dream-world, & his exquisite sense of the fantastic, allappeal to me more thananything else in mordern literature. My first encounter with him...gave me an immense impetus to my own writing; perhaps the greatest it has ever had." - H.P. Lovecraft, letter to Clark Ashton Smith, 1923. " And if thou sighest for any memory of earth because thou hearset unforgotten voices, then will the gods send messengers on wings to soothe thee in Pegana, saying to them: 'There one sigheth who hath remembered Earth' and they shall make Pegana more seductive for thee still, and they take thee by thee hand and whisper in thine ear till old voices are forgot." -Lord Dunsany, The Gods Of Pegana. Lord Dunsany's dream-like short stories were an important basis not only for HP Lovecraft's Dreamlands stories, but also for his entire mythos of supernatural entities. Now for the first time ever, all of Dunsany's Pegana series is collected in one place. The Complete Pegana contains the entire contents of Dunsany's first two collections, The Gods of Pegana and Time and the Gods, as well as his final Pegana trilogy, "Beyond the Fields We Know". "Dunsany reigns, along with Tolkien, Peake, and Cabell, as one of the true giants of twentieth-century fantasy... He has been an important model for a variety of writers, including H.P. Lovecraft, Fritz Leiber, Ursula LeGuin, [and] Clark Ashton Smith." - Darrell Schweitzer, Penguin Encyclopedia of Horror and the Supernatural. S. T. Joshi ed.; Illustrated by Dave Carson; Cover by H. E. Fassl. ISBN

Machen, Arthur; Lord Dunsany & Mark Valentine (introductions) THE HILL OF DREAMS
UK Tartarus Press 2006 1872621317 / 9781872621319 First Edition, Second Printing Private Press Hard Cover Fine Fine Sidney Sime
In Far Off Things (1922), Arthur Machen asked whether it was possible '. . . to invent a story which would recreate those vague impressions of wonder and awe and mystery that I myself had received from the form and shape of the land of my boyhood and youth . . . Could one describe hills and valleys, woods and rivers, sunrise and sunset, buried temples and mouldering Roman walls so that a story could be suggested to the reader? Not, of course, a story of material incidents, not a story with a plot in the ordinary sense of the term, but an interior tale of the soul and its emotions; could such a tale be suggested in the way I have indicated?' However, the book had already been written. The Hill of Dreams had been published in 1907, and has been lauded by writers as diverse as H.P. Lovecraft & Henry Miller. This edition of The Hill of Dreams contains all 3 of the original illustrations intended for the book by acclaimed fantasy artist Sidney Sime. It also contains introductions by Mark Valentine, Lord Dunsany, & Machen himself. Front cover illustration detail of untitled drawing by Sidney Sime.

Dunsany, Lord & S.T. Joshi (editor) THE PLEASURES OF A FUTUROSCOPE
USA Hippocampus Press 2003 0972164480 / 9780972164481 First Edition Private Press Hard Cover Fine Fine
The Pleasures of a Futuroscope by Lord Dunsany : Edited by S. T. Joshi. Lord Dunsany, Irish master of fantasy, was the author of more than a dozen novels, hundreds of short stories, poems, and essays, and dozens of plays. And yet, his last major work, The Pleasures of a Futuroscope, has remained unpublished until this edition. In this powerful and moving novel, written in 1955, a futuroscope--a device that allows a viewer to see into the near or distant future--reveals an awful fate for humanity: a nuclear holocaust has destroyed nearly all human life on the planet. The great city of London is now merely an immense crater, filled in with water from the Thames. The pitiful remnants of humanity have been reduced to a Stone Age existence. The narrator, obsessively looking through the futuroscope, focuses upon the plight of a single family in their struggles to survive and fend off the many enemies, both animal and human, that surround them. When one of their number is kidnapped by a band of gypsies, we can only wonder at her fate in this brave new world of the distant future. Gripping, horrifying, touching, and fascinating, The Pleasures of a Futuroscope shows that Lord Dunsany had retained his literary powers undiminished to the end of his life.
