Fifty-one Tales (version 2)


Lu par Rosslyn Carlyle

(4.5 stars; 18 reviews)

A multitude of very short stories populated with things that lurk in the dark corners of human imagination. Wonderfully crafted and sometimes ending with an unexpected outcome, these stories are well rooted in mythology and speak of things beyond the thin veil of reality. - Summary by Rosslyn Carlyle (2 hr 15 min)

Critiques

Strange tales of nature and men


(4 stars)

Recurring themes of nature, death, time and mankind. Some real gems but quite a few are inscrutable. Author clearly very concerned with man turning his back on nature. 4 stars as a terrific reading with good intonation.

Great stories but strange


(4 stars)

the stories in this book are quite unique. they are short and weird and you can feel meaning behind them even if it's sometimes hard to grasp.

Fantastic tales, fantastically read.


(5 stars)

Dunsany is hard to do justice to, but the reader here nails it!
