Beschreibung

Lord Dunsany's 'A Dreamer's Tales' is a collection of fantasy short stories that transport readers to mystical realms filled with enchanting creatures and magical landscapes. Dunsany's poetic prose creates an ethereal atmosphere that captivates the imagination, making the familiar feel otherworldly. These tales, with their dream-like quality, pave the way for modern fantasy literature by influencing iconic authors such as J.R.R. Tolkien and H.P. Lovecraft. The lyrical writing style combined with vivid imagery sets this book apart as a classic of fantasy literature. Each story is a unique journey that invites readers to escape into a world of wonder and adventure. Lord Dunsany, a prominent figure in the early 20th-century fantasy genre, drew inspiration from his Irish heritage and love of mythology to create 'A Dreamer's Tales.' His rich background in folklore and storytelling traditions shines through in the intricate world-building and captivating narratives found in this collection. Dunsany's ability to weave together fantastical elements with philosophical undertones makes this book a timeless masterpiece that continues to inspire readers and writers alike. I highly recommend 'A Dreamer's Tales' to anyone seeking an escape into a mesmerizing realm of fantasy and imagination. Lord Dunsany's eloquent storytelling and visionary creativity make this collection a must-read for fans of classic fantasy literature.

Winds of Time is a novella from the After Cilmeri series: 
Meg had thought that taking a commuter flight from Pasco, Washington - to Boise, Idaho - would be a simple matter. But nothing is simple for Meg when it comes to travel, and especially not when she finds herself in the Middle Ages again instead of in a plane crash on a mountain side in Oregon. 
And when the pilot takes off without her in a quest to return to the 21st century, Meg will need every last bit of maturity and knowledge she gained in the 16 years she spent in the modern world - to survive even a day in this one. 
A note from the author: This story was started many years ago, as part of Footsteps in Time, book one in the After Cilmeri series. When it came down to it, however, the story didn't fit with what was happening with David and Anna, and had to be put aside. Happily, I am now able to share the story of Meg's return to the Middle Ages. Thus, Winds of Time takes place between part one and part two of Footsteps in Time. I think you will enjoy Winds of Time more if you hear Footsteps in Time first. Diolch yn fawr (thank you)! Sarah 
Complete series reading order: Daughter of Time, Footsteps in Time, Winds of Time, Prince of Time, Crossroads in Time, Children of Time, Exiles in Time, Castaways in Time, Ashes of Time, Warden of Time, Guardians of Time, Masters of Time, Outpost in Time, Shades of Time, Champions of Time, Refuge in Time, Unbroken in Time, Outcasts in Time, Hidden in Time.

But the bears and wolves and other dangerous animals are no match for the two-legged variety who see Joshua as easy prey.
