Science-Fiction & Fantasy, Short Stories

The Sword of Welleran and Other Stories, published in 1908 by Lord Dunsany, is a collection of twelve short stories that explore themes of memory, heroism, and the passage of time. The title story centers on the city of Merimna, once glorious but now complacent, and its legendary hero Welleran, whose legacy is rekindled through a young boy's quest. Dunsany's rich, poetic imagery and imaginative narratives have influenced notable authors like J.R.R. Tolkien and H.P. Lovecraft. The book features ten illustrations by S.H. Simes, enhancing its fantastical appeal.
