Four one-act plays from 1917 set in Dunsany’s invented antiquity. In The Laughter of the Gods a king’s court grows bored in the jungle city of Thek, an Egyptian queen entertains her enemies in an underground temple, a king longs for the desert outside Thalanna, and in A Night at an Inn sailors who stole a ruby eye from an idol wait for its owners.
Witty, ominous plays by the Irish fantasist who so influenced H. P. Lovecraft. Download the free EPUB.
