I've had Lord Dunsany on my TBR for a long time. I found 'Time and The Gods' a very enjoyable read, and I was amazed at how much of Dunsany's influence I could detect in many of my favourite writers.

Fascinating and sometimes beautifully written fictional mythology to little narrative purpose or storytelling. More similar to sketches for a larger idea that was never attempted. Why read them but for curiosity?

A curiosity, if only for the elaborate work done for little purposeful goal; today we might call this background for world-building.

Dunsany tries nothing less than creating an entire new mythology from scratch in this early fantasy work. Should be . . . odd enough!
