A Dreamer's Tales is the fourth book by Irish fantasy writer Lord Dunsany, considered a major influence on the work of J. R. R. Tolkien, H. P. Lovecraft, Ursula K. Le Guin, and others.

A Dreamer's Tales was first published in hardcover by George Allen & Sons in September 1910, and has been reprinted a number of times since.

This edition included an introduction by Padraic Colum praising Dunsany's feel for dramatic situations and exalted speech, and stating that his main influences were Homer, Herodotus, and the Bible.

"On a waste place strewn with bricks in the outskirts of a town", several objects (an old cork, an unstruck match, a broken kettle, a piece of cord/rope, and an old rocking-horse) tell their life stories.

The city was abandoned abruptly for mysterious reasons, possibly a warning from the gods, a message from an emperor, disease or the desert.

Generations later, when Loz's descendant Lod is chief, Ird introduces religion to the tribe in the form of the worship of Ged.
