London: William Heinemann, 1938. First / First. Hardback. A very good copy. A little chipping to the edges of the jacket, price clipped, a little toning. Block with limited foxing to the edges of the block. Some Sime illustrations and a couple of photos. Lord Dunsany (1878-1957) was a prolific writer and one of the architects of what has now cemented itself as the fantasy genre. His work, along with Eddison, Macdonald and Morris, was key in creating the channels from folklore and mythology to entirely synthetic secondary worlds. Very Good / Very Good. Item #11818
