R. R. Tolkien, H. P. Lovecraft, Ursula LeGuin, and others. The book was first published in hardcover by William Heinemann in September, 1906, and has been reprinted a number of times since. It was issued by the Modern Library in an unauthorised combined edition with \u003cem\u003eThe Book of Wonder\u003c\/em\u003e under the latter's title in 1918.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDunsany had a brief preface in the original edition and added a new introduction to the 1922 edition. The book is a series of short stories linked by Dunsany's invented pantheon of deities who dwell in Pegana. It was preceded by his earlier collection \u003cem\u003eThe Gods of Pegana\u003c\/em\u003e and followed by some stories in \u003cem\u003eThe Sword of Welleran and Other Stories\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.
