Dreamer's Tales

by Lord Dunsany

A Dreamer's Tales is a collection of sixteen fantasy short stories by Lord Dunsany.

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.
