The Blessing of Pan (Heathen Edition)

<p><strong>Edward John Moreton Drax Plunkett </strong>(1878-1957) eighteenth baron of Dunsany commonly known as <strong>Lord Dunsany</strong> was an Anglo-Irish author who published more than 80 books during his lifetime including hundreds of short stories as well as plays novels and essays. In 1927 he published his fourth novel <strong><em>The Blessing of Pan</em></strong> a bewitching pastoral fantasy of mythic grandeur in which the quiet English village of Wolding slowly succumbs one by one to an ancient allure stirred by the mysterious music of young Tommy Duffin's reed pipes. As Reverend Elderick Anwrel watches his flock slowly drift into fevered abandon the line between innocent whimsy and dark seduction blurs revealing a spiritual conflict far deeper than he first imagined: this isn't just a descent into pagan revelry - it's a metaphysical siege - and the final soul claimed may be the one sworn to resist it.</p>
