''The Sword of Welleran and Other Stories'' is the third book by Irish fantasy writer Lord Dunsany, considered a major influence on the work of J. R. R. Tolkien, H. P. Lovecraft, Ursula K. Le Guin and others. It was first published in hardcover by George Allen & Sons in October, 1908, and has been reprinted a number of times since. Issued by the Modern Library in a combined edition with ''A Dreamer's Tales'' as ''A Dreamer's Tales and Other Stories'' in 1917. The book is a series of short stories, some of them linked by Dunsany's invented pantheon of deities who dwell in Pegāna, which were the focus of his earlier collections ''The Gods of Pegāna'' and ''Time and the Gods''. One of the stories, "The Fortress Unvanquishable, Save for Sacnoth," was afterwards (1910) published by itself as a separate book, a now very-rare "Art-and-Craft" style limited edition. ==Contents== : *"The Sword of Welleran" : *"The Fall of Babbulkund" : *"The Kith of the Elf-Folk" : *"The Highwaymen" : *"In the Twilight" : *"The Ghosts" : *"The Whirlpool" : *"The Hurricane" : *"The Fortress Unvanquishable, Save for Sacnoth" : *"The Lord of Cities" : *"The Doom of La Traviata" : *"On the Dry Land" 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Sword of Welleran and Other Stories」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
