The Gods of Pegāna is a series of short stories by Lord Dunsany, first published in 1905.

The stories in The Gods of Pegāna are not connected by a single plot, but they share a common setting and cast of characters. The gods of Pegāna are a diverse group, with each god having their own unique powers and personality. Some of the most notable gods include Mana-Yood-Sushai, the god of the sun; Slid, the god of the moon; and Ib, the god of dreams. The stories in The Gods of Pegāna are often episodic in nature, and they focus on the interactions between the gods and the mortals who worship them. In one story, a mortal man named Alveric is granted a wish by the god Mana-Yood-Sushai. In another story, a group of mortals are taken captive by the god Ib and forced to live in his dream world. The Gods of Pegāna is a classic work of fantasy literature, and it has been praised for its beautiful writing, its imaginative world-building, and its exploration of timeless themes.Book Details
