The great fantasy writer Lord Dunsany wrote very little in the way of fantasy after the onset of the First World War. This was partly because he was busy, having volunteered in 1915 and becoming a Captain in the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers in Derry. However, the reality of the world bore in on our hero at this time, and it is not difficult to imagine that his heart moved to more serious concerns. Dunsany’s days of high fantasy, it seems, ended with the emergence of civil unrest in his nation.

Prepare for the most uproariously grim tour of Tudor England ever recorded!

Before the global sensation As a Man Thinketh, there was From Poverty to Power (1901), James Allen‘s first and, in his view, more significant work. Unlike other books, it was written while he was still working as a journalist, and before the success of As a Man Thinketh. Written with an energy and directness that defined his emerging philosophy in its earliest stages, this book presents a foundational exploration of spiritual law that Allen felt his later, more popular work only hinted at.

In his 15th book, the author of As A Man Thinketh lays out the eight core characteristics required for growing lifelong prosperity. For each of these pillars, Allen explores the component parts of the pillar, building up a solid foundation for your existence that can weather any storm and emerge from it better and stronger.
