Re: Fantasy Author Recommendations

Thanks, Knygathin, that book also made a strong early impression on me as well. Just thinking about it brings back many memories!

For me, Dunsany's top novel is either that one or perhaps "The Charwoman's Shadow," (1926) which also had a great impact on me in my youth.

Of "Charwoman," Theodore Strugeon wrote, "I love [the] book with an abiding passion as a perennial evocation of delight and humor and beauty."
