Five Plays

by Dunsany, Lord

Five Plays is the eighth book by Anglo-Irish fantasy writer Lord Dunsany, considered a major influence on the work of J. R. R. Tolkien, H. P. Lovecraft, Ursula K. Le Guin and others. It was first published in hardcover by Grant Richards in February, 1914, and has been reprinted a number of times since. The book is actually Dunsany's sixth major work, two of his preceding books having been chapbooks or selections from his other works.
