Reasons for reading it:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rysmiel quoted a really lovely sentence from Lord Dunsany at one point, and mentioned that he frequently does things like that with language, which seemed a very good reason to read him.
How it came into my hands: I picked it up when I was bookshopping in America last year; it's a bit of a random collection but I understand that anything by Dunsany is pretty hard to find, so I nabbed it anyway.
