Book Description

There be islands in the Central Sea, whose waters are bounded by no shore and where no ships come -- this is the faith of their people.

So I decided I wanted a nice old spooky book to bring with me for reading in Lyme Regis. I decided to go back and re-read this Dunsany book. The copy I have is just gorgeous. 3rd edition, with really simple boards, lovely thick paper and illustrations by Sydney Sime. It just adds to the atmosphere of the book so much. I love the stories here, it talks of the creation of the gods, and then how the gods made man, how there were prophets and priests and eventually the sleeping creator wakes up and destroys everything and everyone. It's a lovely mythology. Some of the passages are repetative and some are stunningly beautiful. Dunsany will always be one of my favourite authors and it's so nice to have lovely old copies of his books to go back and re-read when the mood strikes!
