"How One Came, as was Foretold, to the City of Never" by Lord Dunsany
8 months ago

Surrey: a county in south east England, south of London.
This is one of those stories that is really just about describing a locale, not a whole lot of plot or action, but a lot of description. Edgar Allen Poe has some stories like this: "The Domain of Arnheim" and "Landor's Cottage" most notably. H.P. Lovecraft talks about this style of story as well in his essay "Notes on Writing Weird Fiction". And so Dunsany also has at least this story of this sort. We'll find out soon enough if he has others, but it seems likely.
The picture used is an illustration by Sidney Sime in the 1912 edition of "The Book of Wonder".
