Dunsany, a soldier in the war himself, writes short prose pieces on the devastation of France, on places like Albert and the old wire-filled hollows where the dead still lay. He opens with a sonnet against triumph, “A Dirge of Victory,” and wants readers to know what the French had suffered.
Brief, haunting war writing from a master of fantasy, for anyone drawn to the literature of 1914 to 1918. Download the free EPUB.
