Lord Dunsany, who served as an officer in the First World War, turns his fabulist’s eye on the trenches. These brief pieces range from the prayer of the men of a small hill village who all joined the same platoon, to walks through Picardy among ruins and shell holes, to a fable that travels across starving Europe to the Kaiser’s sleeping palace.
