Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Sword of Welleran and Other Stories" by Lord Dunsany is a collection of short stories published in 1908. This groundbreaking fantasy work marks Dunsany's shift from mythological tales to heroic adventures in a more modern style. The twelve stories blend strange imagination with beautiful prose, featuring legendary warriors, enchanted fortresses, and supernatural encounters. A major influence on Tolkien, Lovecraft, and the sword and sorcery genre, this collection showcases what critics consider some of Dunsany's finest work—stories that captivate with their otherworldly charm.
