Lord Dunsany’s The King of Elfland’s Daughter, a seminal piece of fantasy literature, now in the ultimate Folio edition with illustrations by Julie Dillon and an introduction by Erin Morgenstern. ​

Journey beyond ‘the fields we know’ to the ageless realm of Elfland, where a young prince must win the heart of Lirazel, the King of Elfland’s daughter – but the laws of time and nature work strangely between these two worlds, offering a warning to those who seek magic too readily. This edition celebrates a founding novel of the fantasy genre – one whose prose and poetry, whose unicorns and witches and trolls, would inspire authors from J. R. R. Tolkien to Ursula K. Le Guin.​

Bound in printed and blocked cloth, this superb edition features eight original colour illustrations, along with endpapers depicting a unicorn hunt, by multiple Hugo and Locus award-winning fantasy artist Julie Dillon. An exclusive introduction by Erin Morgenstern completes this grand and dreamlike fairy tale for adults.
