Dunsany’s short prose fables, most no longer than a page, bring Fame, Death, Time and Pan onstage as characters. Charon ferries his last passenger, the Sphinx at Gizeh is painted by Time, a hen ponders the swallows, Death strolls with Odysseus, and a poet keeps making chaplets for a Fame who prefers worthless garlands.
Jewel-like fantasy miniatures for readers of Tolkien, Lovecraft and Le Guin, all of whom learned from Dunsany. Download the free EPUB.
