Lord Dunsany (1878–1957)
Autor de The King of Elfland's Daughter
Sobre El Autor
Though during his lifetime the Irish nobleman Lord Edward John Moreton Drax Plunkett, the 18th Baron Dunsany, was perhaps regarded as a minor talent, his somber short fantasies and novels had a significant impact on the development of fantasy and horror fiction. In real life, Dunsany was as mostrar más interesting and versatile as anyone about whom he wrote. He was an African big-game hunter, a soldier in both the Boer War and World War I, and was wounded in the 1916 Irish Easter Rebellion. He was also the national chess champion of Ireland. Dunsany's first short story collection, The Gods of Pegana, was published in 1905 and was soon followed by other fantasy anthologies, including Time and the Gods (1906) and The Sword of Welleran and Other Stories (1908), among others. These stories are distinguished by their elegant, fairy tale settings and Dunsany's unique, macabre sense of humor. Dunsany's novels, such as The King of Elfland's Daughter (1924) and The Charwoman's Shadow (1926), are considered fantasy classics. Although Dunsany wrote prodigiously and with great versatility throughout his life, many regard his early, highly stylized short fiction to be his best work, and his most important.

Así Lord Dunsany , nos sumerge en ese mundo maravilloso que se extiende más allá de la linde de los campos que conocemos y que conduce en forma directa al niño que yace sepulto en todos nosotros. Excepcional cuentista, La Hija del Rey de los Elfos es sin duda su mejor novela, aquélla que revela las constantes de su obra: la belleza que aflora de una simple mata de hierba; el sutil límite que nos separa del universo mágico y, sobre todo, el juego delicado y casi sensual del lenguaje, que adquiere aquí el papel protagonista central.
Y llegará un momento en el que abandonemos la lectura y, al contemplar el ambiente una vez familiar, advertiremos que ya no estamos en los campos que conocemos, detenidos en un éxtasis eterno, eterno como el País de los Elfos.… (más)
