We all agree that Lord Dunsany was the best weird fiction writer, right?

I've been reading through Lord Dunsany's A Dreamer's Tales and they're like a breathe of fresh air; little fantasy stories, parables and fables that draw from myths and folk tales. He is an Anglo-Irish writer who was popular during his lifetime, creating comprehensive secondary worlds and fictional cosmologies in the 1910s/20s, a while before The Lord Of The Rings (1937.)

I'd like to get into Lord Dunsany.

Any recommendations on where to start?

Can /lit/ recommend and pre-Tolkien fantasy? Especially Victorian?

I know about Lord Dunsany. That's about it.

What do you think of Lord Dunsany, /lit/?

Do you think his fiction stands on its own or is he a mere shadow of the writers he inspired (i.e., Lovecraft, Tolkien, etc.)?
