Synopsis

In the 20 years since Lord Dunsany: A Bibliography was published, there has been a veritable explosion in interest in Dunsany's life and work. And, since much of Dunsany's writing is now in the public domain, many print-on-demand editions of the author's early books have been published in recent years. In addition to new material by or about Dunsany published after 1993, this second edition includes a considerable amount of material published in Dunsany's lifetime that was discovered since the original bibliography was produced.
