Fantasy literature owes much to Lord Dunsany, Irish writer and dramatist, and 18th baron to Dunsany Castle, established in the 12th century and the oldest family home in Ireland. Along with a military career that spanned both World Wars, his first collection of short stories, The Gods of Pegana, was published in 1905, and he began writing plays several years later at the request of W.B. Yeats.
A new documentary on Lord Dunsany was released a week ago and is available to rent or buy online at http://vimeo.com/ondemand/dunsan
