A Dreamer's Tales

A Dreamer's Tales (1910)

To the left, we show a copy of A Dreamer's Tales, as illustrated by Sidney H Sime and published by George Allen & Sons (London) in 1910. It shows the original gold-stamped cream cloth cover.

A Dreamer's Tales is a collection of short fantasy stories from Lord Dunsany, including: "Poltarnees, Beholder of Ocean";

"The Madness of Andelsprutz"; "Where the Tides Ebb and Flow"; "Bethmoora"; "Idle Days on the Yann"; "The Sword and

the Idol"; "The Idle City"; "The Hashish Man"'; "Poor Old Bill"; "The Beggers"; "Carcassonne"; "In Zaccarath"; "The Field";

"The Day of the Poll"; and "The Unhappy Body".

Sime's illustrations for A Dreamer's Tales are a further example of his brilliantly complementary work with Dunsany. He

moves masterfully from one theme to another infusing a variety of styles with his own particular interpretation.
