Dreamer's Tales

by Lord Dunsany

A Dreamer's Tales is a collection of sixteen fantasy short stories by Lord Dunsany. The stories vary in tone from the wistful to the horrific, and explore themes of myth, legend, folklore, and the supernatural. Some of the most notable stories in the collection include "The Sword of Welleran," which tells the tale of a young man who must battle a dragon to save his kingdom; "The King of Elfland's Daughter," a beautiful and haunting story about a mortal man who falls in love with an elf princess; and "The Hashish Man," a surreal and dreamlike tale of a man who travels to a strange and exotic land.
