Lord Dunsany's The King of Elfland's Daughter is one of the most beloved fantasy novels of our time. The surpassingly charming, dreamlike, and wildly imaginative tale takes place in the ancient land of Erl, which borders the ethereal world of Elfland. When the elders of Erl decide they wish to be ruled by a magic lord, Alverac, the firstborn son of the king, must venture to Elfland for a bride. Magical adventures and mysterious encounters ensue in this story about the power of bonds that are forged in the heart. Praised by the likes of H. P. Lovecraft, J. R. R. Tolkien, Guillermo del Toro, Neil Gaiman, Jorge Luis Borges, and Ursula Le Guin, this poetic, sweeping tale is a timeless masterpiece. This Warbler Classics edition includes a biographical timeline.
