Line 11:
* [[Neil Gaiman]]'s ''[[Stardust (novel)|Stardust]]'' shows certain similarities with ''The King of Elfland's Daughter'' and echoes Dunsany's phrase 'the lands we know'.
* Tolkien's Ulmo is described in very similar terms to Dunsany's Slid, whose soul is by the sea and whose voice is in all waters and all who hear that call must wander until they at last reach the sea. In his storm-causing aspect, Slid resembles the Maia Osse; both are described as 'exulting' or 'rejoicing' when raising a storm.
* ''The Sword of Welleran'' was greatly admired by [[Robert E. Howard]], creator of [[Conan the Barbarian]], and may be considered one of the starting points of [[Sword and Sorcery]] fantasy. It shares this place with 'The Fortress Unvanquishable, save for Sacnoth.'
* Dunsany's influence has extended to anime series such as ''[[Haibane Renmei]]'', ''[[Simoun]]'', and ''[[Sora no Woto]]''.
