Written during the First World War and introduced by Dunsany while recovering from a wound at Londonderry, these short tales range from a pirate who sails his ship across the Sahara to the city on Mallington Moor, thirteen ghostly guests at a country-house dinner and the reason the milkman shudders at dawn. This is a different collection from The Book of Wonder.
