in the world before Tolkien, lord Dunsany had a considerable reputation as a learned and witty fantasist. This is his take on the mental world also illuminated by Miguel Cervantes. It is a pleasant fantasy and quite a fun read. the writers in this genre thought it quite fitting that he be included in the Del Rey collection of ancestors of tolkien. ( )

With Lord Dunsany it is all about the *way* he writes - that very ornate British thing. A Sancho Panza tripping through a fantasy Spain, set to accompany a guy on a quest (who has just lost his inheritance). ( )

After long and patient research I am still unable to give the reader of these Chronicles the exact date of the times that they tell of. (Chronology)
Being convinced that his end had nearly come, and having lived long on earth (and all those years in Spain, in the golden time), the Lord of the Valleys of Arguento Harez, whose heights see not Valladolid, called for his eldest son.
