In the Inner Lands of Toldees, Mondath and Arizim, young men climb the mountain Poltarnees to look on the forbidden sea. Dunsany’s stories go on to the deserted city of Bethmoora, a slow voyage down the river Yann, a rocking-horse that longs to be a war-horse, a madness that takes a city, and a cave-man who first makes an idol beside a fire.
