Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Fantasy Short Stories Fifty-One Talesby Lord DunsanyFifty-One Tales is a collection of fantasy short stories by Irish writer Lord Dunsany, considered a major influence on the work of J. R. R. Tolkien, H. P. Lovecraft, Ursula K. Le Guin and others. The first editions, in hardcover, were published simultaneously in London and New York by Elkin Mathews and Mitchell Kennerly, respectively, in April, 1915. The British and American editions differ in that they arrange the material slightly differently and that each includes a story the other omits; "The Poet Speaks with Earth" in the British version, and "The Mist" in the American version.The collection's significance in the history of fantasy literature was recognized by its republication (as The Food of Death: Fifty-One Tales) by the Newcastle Publishing Company as the third volume of the Newcastle Forgotten Fantasy Library in September, 1974. The Newcastle edition used the American version of the text.The book collects fifty-one short stories by the author.CONTENTSThe AssignationCharonThe Death of PanThe Sphinx at GizaThe HenWind and FogThe Raft-BuildersThe WorkmanThe GuestDeath and OdysseusDeath and the OrangeThe Prayer of the FlowerTime and the TradesmanThe Little CityThe Unpasturable FieldsThe Worm and the AngelThe Songless CountryThe Latest ThingThe Demagogue and the Demi-mondeThe Giant PoppyRosesThe Man With the Golden Ear-ringsThe Dream of King Karna-VootraThe StormA Mistaken IdentityThe True History of the Hare and the TortoiseAlone the ImmortalsA Moral Little TaleThe Return of SongSpring In TownHow the Enemy Came to ThlunranaA Losing GameTaking Up PicadillyAfter the FireThe CityThe Food of DeathThe Lonely IdolThe Sphinx in Thebes (Massachusetts)The RewardThe Trouble in Leafy Green StreetThe MistFurrow-MakerLobster SaladThe Return of the ExilesNature and TimeThe Song of the BlackbirdThe MessengersThe Three Tall SonsCompromiseWhat We Have Come ToThe Tomb of Pan This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Edward John Moreton Drax Plunkett, 18th Baron of Dunsany (1878-1957), was an Anglo-Irish writer and dramatist; his work, mostly in the fantasy genre, was published under the name Lord Dunsany. His oeuvre includes many hundreds of published short stories, as well as plays, novels and essays. He achieved great fame and success with his early short stories and plays, and during the 1910s was considered one of the greatest living writers of the English-speaking world; he is today best known for his 1924 fantasy novel The King of Elfland's Daughter and The Gods of Pegana, wherein he devised his own fictional pantheon and laid the groundwork for the fantasy genre. He was the inventor of an asymmetric version of chess called Dunsany's chess. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Hardback. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. Dunsany, Lord. Fifty-one Tales. London: Elkin Mathews, 1919. Third printing. Octavo, pp. [i-vi] vii-viii 1-111 [112: printer's imprint]. Original gray boards with gray linen shelf back, front and spine panels stamped in black, top edge rough trimmed, other edges untrimmed. Illustrated with a photograph portrait of the author (in uniform) inserted at the frontispiece with a facsimile of his signature. The old ownership signature ("Dorothy Lawton") on the front free endpaper may refer to the former first head librarian of the NYPL's music collection. A good copy. #3374. $30. This collection of very short pieces was first published in 1916, as was the author's landmark Tales of Wonder, which began the author's pivot away from his pre-war fantasies with their characteristically Irish blend of the exuberant and the wistful. After the war Dunsany turned to more realistic settings for his novels (while still coaxing fantastic growths from them). For his stories, he took refuge in the clubroom tall tales of Jorkens, where the mood shifts away from that pre-war self-confidence that let Dunsany manufacture such richly jeweled worlds -- however much his tragi-comic vision always could be heard (by the alert) whispering to the reader that the author knew quite well he was making this all up out of nothing. The war knocked him off that tight-rope. Against the new flat disillusionment of post-war Britain Jorkens fired his defiantly blatant fabrications, lubricated by good (and complimentary) whiskies. These stories allowed Dunsany an authorial distance (not bereft of sympathy and pity for his down-at-heel hero) that he evidently felt no need for in the pre-war world.
