Lord Dunsany's first novel, "Don Rodriguez: Chronicles of Shadow
Valley conveys its young disinherited protagonist through a
fantasized Spain, gifting him with a Sancho Panza companion, good
luck with magicians, and a castle" The Encyclopedia of Fantasy]. It
is a landmark tale for Dunsany, beginning his move from the
otherworldly short stories for which his reputation is justly
famous to novels, such as the follow-up The King of Elfland's
Daughter and The Charwoman's Shadow. L. Sprague de Camp has said:
"Dunsany was the second writer (William Morris in the 1880s being
the first) fully to exploit the possibilities of . . . adventurous
fantasy laid in imaginary lands, with gods, witches, spirits, and
magic, like children's fairy tales but on a sophisticated adult
level." But more than this, Dunsany was probably the single
greatest influence on fantasy writers during the first half of the
20th century. Lovecraft, in early fiction, like The Dream-Quest of
Unknown Kadath, imitated him, and very well. Robert E. Howard,
creator of Conan the Barbarian and founder of the popular Sword
General
