    5.0 out of 5 stars Lin Carter's legacy
    Reviewed in the United States on 5 March 2013
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    The real hero of these stories is Lin Carter who used his run on Ballantine to rescue tons of pulp and other writers from obscurity. Save, perhaps, HP Lovecraft and mmmabye Conan, tons of obscure but genius writers would be forgotten today.

    None more so, save perhaps Clark Ashton Smith, than Lord Dunsany.
    Best way to think of him is imagine if Tolkien wrote many many more stories, but you didn't have to be a special branch of Nerd to like them. He could write in three pages a story as hard hitting as a great epic fantasy and though "Beyond the Fields We Know" somehow resonate inside you deeply. And you wouldn't have to struggle with made up words, anyone who knows English at the speaking level can enjoy it. Lovecraft was a rabid fanatic fanboy of his, think the crazy guy George Lucas has to run from or get kicked out of the Star Wars convention after 5 showings in 5 separate weeks in 5 different cities on the same tour... Lots of Lovecraft's work is an attempt to re-create this, though only Clark Ashton Smith could have approached.

    Now, most of Dunsany's stories are public domain at last, even with the "Mickey Mouse" garbage. Still this book is well worth getting for a collection if used, even with shipping. Nice tribute to the era Lin Carter ended up looked as a hack because he went to such lengths to keep authors like this alive.

    In this volume, which is a good story. All of them. I'd recommend as a starter "The Fortress unvanqueshable, save for Sacnoth" which arguably is the first real "Sword and Sorcery" story.

    Reviewed in the United States on 29 March 2008
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    If I could only keep one collection of the stories of Lord Dunsany it would be this volume. Indeed, it was the volume that I kept when I was faced with thinning my personal library. It is good that this little paperback was so well selected, since for decades it was the only affordably priced example in print.

    The editor (Lin Carter) lovingly selected stories from seven of Dunsany's eight volumes of short fantasy written between 1905 and 1919. There are eight tales from TIME AND THE GODS, one from THE SWORD OF WELLERAN, two from FIFTY-ONE TALES, seven from A DREAMER'S TALES, seven from THE BOOK OF WONDER, two from THE LAST BOOK OF WONDER, and three from TALES OF THREE HEMISPHERES. There is also an excellent, informative introduction about the author and his works, plus every section has an short intro telling something of Dunsany's life at the time he wrote the stories.

    I won't try to describe Dunsany's writing style here. Some call it fluff, but to me these are somewhere between rare jewels and solidified dreams. No one wrote like this man, for he truly walked the border between the fields we know and the fields we do not.
