Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and human-narrated by Matthew Schmitz. Tales from Three Hemispheres by Lord Dunsany is a collection of brief, dreamlike fantasy tales that move between myth, satire, exotic imagined lands, and strange philosophical visions.

This collection brings together three landmark works from Lord Dunsany, one of fantasy literature’s earliest and most imaginative voices.
