  • "Un texte majeur d'un des maîtres de la littérature fantastique irlandaise (1878-1957)."
  • "Looking for a stiff dose of classic fantasy? Look no further than Lord Dunsany's remarkably well-written collection, A Book of Wonder. This medley of fables, fantasy, and action-adventure will pique the interest of a wide array of readers. If you're in the mood for tales of quests, dragons, and brave warriors, this collection will definitely do the trick."@en
  • "Most fantasy enthusiasts consider Lord Dunsany one of the most significant forces in modern fantasy; his influences have been observed in the works of H.P. Lovecraft, L. Sprague de Camp, Fritz Leiber, Jack Vance, and many other modern writers. The Book of wonder is Dunsany at his peak of his talent. The stories here are a lush tapestry of language, conjuring images of people, places, and things which cannot possibly exist, yet somehow ring true. They are, in short, full of wonder. Together with Dunsany's other major collections, A Dreamer's Tales and Tales of Three Hemispheres, they are a necessary part of any fantasy collection."@en
  • "The Book of Wonder is a collection of 14 fantasy short stories including "The Hoard of the Gibbelins" about man-eaters whose legendary store of treasure exists only to attract prey; "Chu-Bu and Sheemish," the story of squabbling deities forced to share a temple; and "The Bride of the Man-Horse," concerning the wedding of the centaur Shepperalk."@en
