Tales Of Wonder

Zusatztext

Tales of Wonder is a collection of many stories by Lord Dunsany. 'Lord Dunsany' was Edward Plunketts pen name and he was a very successful author of numerous books, plays, and short stories. He possessed a remarkable imagination and created fantastical landscapes peopled with unique characters. Tales of Wonder will transport you to another time and to another place and in the midst of it all you will be enthralled with the marvel of it all. His creative method perhaps gives us a glimpse into this unusual man: Dunsany's writing habits were considered peculiar by some. Lady Beatrice said that He always sat on a crumpled old hat while composing his tales. The hat was eventually stolen by a visitor to Dunsany Castle. Dunsany almost never rewrote anything everything he ever published was a first draft. It has been said that Lord Dunsany would sometimes conceive stories while hunting, and would return to the Castle and draw in his family and servants to re-enact his visions before he set them on paper.
