The poetic style and sweeping grandeur of The King of Elflands Daughter has made it one of the most beloved fantasy novels of our time, a masterpiece that influenced some of the greatest contemporary fantasists. The heartbreaking story of a marriage between a mortal man and an elf princess is a masterful tapestry of the fairy tale following the 'happily ever after. ' 'Inventor of a new mythology and weaver of surprising folklore, Lord Dunsany stands dedicated to a strange world of fantastic beauty […] unexcelled in the sorcery of crystalline singing prose, and supreme in the creation of a gorgeous and languorous world of incandescently exotic vision. No amount of mere description can convey more than a fraction of Lord Dunsany's pervasive charm. '--H. P. LovecraftLord Dunsany 'who has imagined colors, ceremonies and incredible processions […] has yet never wearied of the most universal of emotions and the one most constantly associated with the sense of beauty; and when we come to examine these astonishments that seemed so alien we find that he has but transfigured with beauty the commons sights of the world. '--William Butler Yeats'I shall indeed be happy if this volume contributes to the rediscovery of one of the greatest writers of this century. '--Arthur C. Clarke'A fantasy novel in a class with the Tolkien books. '--L. Sprague de Camp
