To anyone who is a fan of Lord Dunsany or Susanna Clarke and who wants to read the most recent iteration of scholarly fae fantasy, I recommend "Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia of Faeries" by Heather Fawcett.by bananaflag

That's an amazing picture - sort of reminds me of the Carta marina by Olaus Magnus. [1]Not going to lie, I did kind of chuckle a bit at the part labeled "The Water Babies".
The artist is Bernard Sleigh [2].

This map was created in 1917, so sadly it missed out on Lord Dunsany's explorations of Elfland (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_King_of_Elfland%27s_Daught...).But... seven years separate Dunsany's novel from this map, and as everyone knows, seven is an important number in Fairyland! I declare a Fae conspiracy.

well next year will be 70 years from Dunsany's death, so pretty much everything of his should be in the public domain then. maybe the map can be updated!by bryanrasmussen
