    Paperback
    ISBN: 9780345238863
    Publisher: Ballantine, New York (1974)


    Seller: Green Oak Books and Collectibles (Airdrie, AB, Canada)
    Used Book—Condition: Fine
    Book Price: $25.00
    Shipping: $6.00
    TOTAL Cost: $31.00

paperback 234 pp. This is an unread book and has been kept in perfect condition. There is a small amount of chipping to the front lower-right cover, otherwise, it is pristine. You might not find another copy of this 51-year-old book in this condition. Lin Carter collected 36 of Dunsany's short stories, a play, and a poem for this anthology. It is divided into four sections: Tales of the World's Edge, Tales of Far Away, Tales of Near at Hand, and Tales Jorkens Told. Jorkens is one of Dunsany's most well-known characters. Each section begins with an introduction by Carter. The front of the book includes the tribute Reading Lord Dunsany by H. P. Lovecraft. The stories are a great introduction to one of the world's neglected fantasy masters who preceded J. R. R. Tolkien by a few decades.
