A Bibliography of Lord Dunsany's works (Edward John Moreton Drax Plunkett, 18th Baron of Dunsany) Bibliography compiled by Jim Henry III. This edition March 1994. Later I may release revised editions with contents lists for more of the collections. If you notice any inaccuracy or incompleteness in this list, please let me know. I have given the ISBN numbers for all those still in print (as of the 1992-93 _Books-in-Print_).
