Tales of Three Hemispheres is a collection of fantasy short stories by Lord Dunsany. The first edition was published in Boston by John W. Luce & Co. in November, 1919; the first British edition was published in London by T. Fisher Unwin in June, 1920. The book collects 14 short pieces by Dunsany; the last three, under the general heading “Beyond the Fields We Know,” are related tales, as explained in the publisher’s note preceding the first, “Idle Days on the Yann,” which was previously published in the author’s earlier collection A Dreamer’s Tales, but reprinted in the current one owing to the relationship.     [chương_files]

The Sword of Welleran and Other Stories is the third book by Irish fantasy writer Lord Dunsany, considered a major influence on the work of J. R. R. Tolkien, H. P. Lovecraft, Ursula K. Le Guin and others. It was first published in hardcover by George Allen & Sons in October, 1908, and has been reprinted a number of times since. 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. – Summary by Wikipedia     [chương_files]
