	The King of Elfland's Daughter by Lord Dunsany - an infinity plus review
		Dunsany is so leisurely a storyteller that you can almost believe he would think it unseemly for a writer to do anything so coarse as grip his reader with a story.
		Dunsany's Elfland is not so much a real place as a state of being, the ability to see heaven in every grain of sand.
		Dunsany rejects this: you can't pursue wonder, just as Alveric can search for years for a way into Elfland but is bound to fail.

	Lord Dunsany — www.greenwood.com
		Joshi's examination of the writings of Baron Dunsany is in both breadth and depth far superior to anything previously attempted.
		In this, the first academic study of Dunsany's work, Joshi establishes that Dunsany has a remarkable grasp of the symbolic function of fantasy, and that he used fantasy, horror, and the supernatural as metaphors for his most deeply held convictions on life and society.
		The course of Dunsany's long career--proceeding from early short stories and plays about the "edge of the world" to full-length novels to tales of comic fantasy (such as the popular Jorkens stories) to sensitive works about Ireland--reveals a writer constantly searching for new ways to express his central philosophic and aesthetic conceptions.

		Dunsany’s first book, “The Gods of Pega¯na” (included in its entirety in the Penguin volume), related the cosmogony of the imaginary island nation of Pega¯na in a prose style that mimics the archaic cadences of the Bible.
		Even those writers who preferred, like Dunsany, to set their fiction in wholly imaginary worlds—Tolkien is the best-known example—felt their work shaped by the war’s horrors.
		Dunsany thought the Jorkens stories inferior to his more high-flown fantasies, but “The Collected Jorkens,” a three-volume edition from Night Shade Books ($35 each), reveals them to be funny, inventive, and at times—by Dunsany’s standards—even moving.
