Catching Up-Early Spring at Pegana Press

Lord Dunsany Lost Tales Vol 3 from Pegana Press with color Sime illustration

I want to take time out to thank those of you who bought our Winter Tales chapbook.  And I am very encouraged by the feedback on the stories.

Also, Michael Swanwick has posted a review about Lost Tales Volume 3 by Lord Dunsany.  And you can read it here on his blog.

The third bit of news I want to pass on is that Mike is hard at work on a new book and we will be sharing more details soon.

Don't forget to go to our website if you would like to see Lost Tales Vol 3.  It has a color Sime illustration provided by the Dunsany Estate, and while all the stories are rare, some of them have never been published.  Pegana Press is honored to bring them to you.

But when I may have my choice by what fire I will take my warmth and dream my dreams or listen to friendly voices that tell old tales I let it be a fire of what we call "turf," which is the "peat" of the English.  In such a fire are good visions.

Fuel by Lord Dunsany

Yet that is in any case of all things the most certain; the cliffs of destiny wholly hem us in, they are beautiful in the morning lit by the rising sun, but they grow darker and darker as evening falls behind them.

Lost Tales Volume 3 Shipping Update

Hello everyone,

Rita has completed the first batch of chapbooks and they will begin shipping in a couple of days. The first hardbacks are drying under weight and will begin shipping next week.  I will send out email notifications to each of you letting you know your copy is on its way.  The books are done in small batches at a time, numbered and shipped based on your order date.

We have posted new pictures of the finished book on the website page; I think Rita has done a splendid job (as always); we really like the "feel" and look of the book.

That's all for now

Ever Closer

Lost Tales Volume 3 is now in the binding stage and my part of the work is done.  Rita is busily cutting cloth and making cases for the books.  The printing for the Sime illustration looks great and we're so excited to have the painting as part of the book.  These latest stories are quiet and reflective, and of the Earth and the fantastic hidden within its borders, and we think the Sime fits that quality very nicely.

We will post more images of the book soon on the main page and of course let you know when the edition begins shipping.  I'm now in the beginning phase of working on "The Age of Ending" Poseidonis Cycle II by Clark Ashton Smith.  That's all for now, take care one and all.

Mike
