Lord Dunsany was one of he best early fantasists. "Fifty One Tales" is the collection of short striking stories, often meditations on death, joy, life and time. In this collection, Dunsany writes about sunken ships, of Fame's prediction to a young poet, the ghost of a workman, Death trying to frighten the legendary hero Odysseus, a king dreams of a beautiful queen who has been dead for forty years, and a Spanish pirate whose evil deeds mean that he isn't allowed to die.
