Lord Dunsany is truly great writer, by the way. He's one of my favourites even though I haven't read that by him yet. I own all his Pegana stories in one volume, thanks to the wonderful people at Victor Gollancz (an Orion Books imprint) and their Fantasy Masterworks series. Note that this has nothing to do with abominable crap like Davisd Eddings, or even middlebrow stuff like Neil Gaiman. We're talking truly great literature. Borges translated him.
