A Dreamer's Tales
Lord Dunsany
Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz.
There are books that awaken the intellect, books that stir the heart—and then, rarest of all, there are books that shift the fabric of reality, that open quiet doors in the mind through which something older, stranger, and more beautiful begins to seep in. A Dreamer’s Tales is such a book. In these pages, Lord Dunsany does not merely tell stories. He conjures realms beneath reason, cities where time is a superstition, and gods born from silence. His prose drifts like a high wind across ancient deserts and forgotten shores, guided less by plot than by intuition and symbol, as if each tale were a parable from some lost scripture of the stars. Published in 1910, these stories were not written for a world of algorithms and deadlines—but perhaps that is precisely why they matter more now than ever. In their refusal to explain or obey, they invite the reader to remember something primal: that the imagination is not just escapism, but a dimension unto itself, with its own landscapes, dangers, and truths. To read Dunsany is to remember how to dream on purpose.
