The Gods of Pegana is a collection of short stories and poems written by Lord Dunsany. The book is set in the imaginary world of Pegana, where a pantheon of gods and goddesses rule over the universe. The stories are told from the perspective of a narrator who is a resident of Pegana and has a deep understanding of the gods and their ways.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of the world of Pegana. The first chapter introduces the reader to the gods themselves and their creation of the universe. The subsequent chapters delve into the lives and deeds of individual deities, such as Mung, the god of laughter, and Skarl, the god of thieves.The stories are written in a poetic and lyrical style, with a focus on the grandeur and majesty of the gods. The book is also notable for its use of invented words and names, which add to the otherworldly atmosphere of the stories.Overall, The Gods of Pegana is a classic work of fantasy literature that explores the nature of divinity and the power of imagination. It has inspired countless writers and artists over the years and remains a beloved and influential work to this day.All these are gods so small that they be lesser than men, but pleasant gods to have beside the hearth; and often men have prayed to Kilooloogung, saying: ""Thou whose smoke ascendeth to Pegana send up with it our prayers, that the gods may hear."" And Kilooloogung, who is pleased that men should pray, stretches himself up all grey and lean, with his arms above his head, and sendeth his servant the smoke to seek Pegana, that the gods of Pegana may know that the people pray.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
