Last Book of Wonder

The Last Book of Wonder is a magnificent collection of stories written as the world raged in The War to End All Wars, the First World War. It is Dunsany at his peak. In the Preface he writes: ?My dreams are here before you amongst the following pages; and writing in a day when life is cheap, dreams seem to me all the dearer, the only things that survive.'The stories are a lush tapestry of language, of images of people, places, and things that cannot exist, yet are familiar, as real as anything can be. They are full of wonder and also unforgettable. In the end, they are a necessary part of any fantasy collection.Dunsany, Lord is the author of 'Last Book of Wonder', published 2004 under ISBN 9781596050143 and ISBN 1596050144.
