Don Rodriguez, or Chronicles of Shadow Valley

Set in a fantastical version of Spain, the story follows a young disinherited nobleman accompanied by a loyal Sancho Panza-like companion. The protagonist encounters magicians and discovers a castle, embarking on an adventurous journey. This novel marks a significant shift for Lord Dunsany, transitioning from his renowned otherworldly short stories to longer narratives, paving the way for future works like The King of Elfland's Daughter and The Charwoman's Shadow.
