 Issued by the Modern Library in a combined edition with "A Dreamer's Tales" as "A Dreamer's Tales and Other Stories" in 1917.The book is a series of short stories, some of them linked by Dunsany's invented pantheon of deities who dwell in Pegāna, which were the focus of his earlier collections "The Gods of Pegāna" and "Time and the Gods".One of the stories, "The Fortress Unvanquishable, Save for Sacnoth", was afterwards (1910) published by itself as a separate book, a now very-rare "Art-and-Craft"-style limited edition.
