'Dunsany has influenced me more than anyone else except Poe -- his rich language, his cosmic point of view, his remote dream world, and his exquisite sense of the fantastic, all appeal to me more than anything else in modern literature. My first encounter with him... gave an immense impetus to my writing; perhaps the greatest it has ever had.'

- H. P. Lovecraft, letter to Clark Ashton Smith, 1923

'And if thou sighest for any memory of earth because thou hearest unforgotten voices, then will the gods send messengers on wings to soothe thee in Pegana, saying to them: 'There one sigheth who hath remembered Earth' and they shall make Pegana more seductive for thee still, and they shall take thee by the hand and whisper in thine ear till the old voices are forgot.'

- The Gods of Pegana

Within are newly set versions of Dunsany's first two books, The Gods of Pegana (1905) and Time and the Gods (1906). Three stories, collectively titled Beyond the Fields We Know, round out the collection, the first time that all the Pegana stories have appeared within one set of covers.
