The Gods of Pegana, by Lord Dunsany, is an imaginative book of fantasy and one of the most important collections compiled of short stories from the early part of the 20th century. Dunsany, as the second writer to fully exploit the fantasy and adventure of imaginary lands, which include gods, witches, magic, and spirits, The God of Pegana is an important science fiction work which is both for its ability to be an excellent collection of children's fairy tales as well as sophisticated enough to work well at an adult level.
