A Dreamer's Tales

About this book

The city of Bethmoora empties for reasons no one can explain. Elsewhere, travellers sail the Yann beneath strange stars, and distant Carcassonne becomes an obsession that may outlast the journey towards it.

Lord Dunsany's sixteen stories give whole histories to places that exist for only a few pages. Gods, dreamers, wandering merchants and ruined cities appear in prose that feels older than the worlds it describes. Sidney H. Sime's illustrations meet that imagination on its own terms, turning an already unusual collection into a place to linger.
