The Charwoman’s Shadow

Dunsany displayed an extraordinary imagination; he was not interested in the robots, rays and machinery that for so long filled the pages of his successors, but in the effects of his characters of some slight but vital distortion of their familiar world. – Bernard Levin

Dunsany stands dedicated to strange and lovely worlds of fantastic beauty. To the truly imaginative he is a talisman and a key unlocking rich store houses of dreams. – H.P. Lovecraft

Perhaps the strongest single influence in the development of fantasy fiction in the present century – L. Sprague de Camp
