Fifty-One Tales; First British Edition, 1915. SOLD

---

 An extraordinarily wonderful collection of Dunsany's short allegorical, atmospheric Fantasy Tales.  These stories shimmer with wonder and magic; one of the best collections from his early period.  This particular copy is in terrific condition, a first British Edition from 1915, published by Elkin Mathews of London.  This binding did not age well as a rule so finding a copy like this in Fine Condition is quite unusual.

"...And yet I fear that in his ultimate anguish he may take hold blindly of the world and the moon and slowly pull down upon him the House of Man..."

 Linweave Limited Edition featuring Lord Dunsany's story "A City of Wonder." 1934.  A very lovely and unique book; deluxe printing and lavishly illustrated book used to market and spotlight the Linweave line of papers, a really nice production with a nice treatment of a Lord Dunsany story.   Includes material by Masefield, Conrad Aiken and others. In very nice conditions, uncommon.
