Set within invented realms that evoke both antiquity and dream, the stories unfold through legend-like structures, often concerned with memory, heroism, and the persistence of lost worlds. The title story, in particular, presents a meditation on legacy and the imagined past, themes that recur throughout the collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst published in 1908, the volume stands among Dunsany's early and most influential works. Its formal qualities-measured cadence, symbolic landscapes, and a focus on tone over plot-mark a decisive departure from earlier fantasy traditions and anticipate later developments in the genre. Widely recognised as a foundational voice of modern fantasy, Dunsany's influence can be traced through subsequent generations of writers. This collection remains central to understanding the origins and evolution of modern fantasy fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 70\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.15 x 10 x 7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 23, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53533528555827,"sku":"9781633847484","price":17.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/s3xxpj-vy.myshopify.com\/products\/the-sword-of-welleran-and-other-stories-paperback-2","provider":"The Celestial Starlit Phoenix ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
