Six Tales by Lord Dunsany (BLKM)

Six Tales by Lord Dunsany: Lobster Salad, The Workman, The Charm against Thirst, How the Enemy Came to Thlunrana, The Dream of King Karna-Vootra, and Charon. The stories are quick, largely allegorical tales with fanciful themes. My favorite was The Charm Against Thirst, which starts at 11:40.

Edward John Moreton Drax Plunkett, 18th Baron of Dunsany (24 July 1878 – 25 October 1957) was an Irish writer and dramatist, notable for his work, mostly in fantasy, published under the name Lord Dunsany. More than eighty books of his work were published, and his oeuvre includes many hundreds of published short stories, as well as successful plays, novels and essays. Dunsany lived much of his life at what may be Ireland's longest-inhabited house, Dunsany Castle near Tara. He was chess and pistol-shooting champion of Ireland, and travelled and hunted extensively.
