Publisher's Summary
The King of Elfland's Daughter is one of the most beloved fantasy novels of our time. Lord Dunsany, in his inventive, poetic style, tells the heartbreaking story of a marriage between a mortal man and an elf princess. This masterpiece has influenced some of our greatest contemporary fantasists, including Neil Gaiman, J.R. Tolkien, H.P. Lovecraft, Fritz Leiber, Ursula K. Le Guin, and C.L. Moore, who stated: "No one can imitate Dunsany, and probably everyone who's ever read him has tried." Dunsany's "The Gods of Pegana" follows "The King of Elfland's Daughter." "Pegana" is collection of vignettes and prose poems written in the style of a religious text; taken together, they create a mythology. Dunsany's inventive use of archaic language and repetition add a dream-like quality to "Pegana." Golden Voice narrator Gerard Doyle, whose voice embodies these books in a mystical, dreamy way, is the perfect narrator for this book.
