 It was preceded by his earlier collection "The Gods of Pegāna" and followed by some stories in "The Sword of Welleran and Other Stories".The book was illustrated by Dunsany's preferred artist Sidney Sime, who provided a range of black and white plates, the originals of which are still at Dunsany Castle.These were present in the 1906 and 1922 editions, not in the unauthorised collections and not in most modern reproductions.
