The Twilight of the Gods and Other Tales by Richard Garnett, with an introduction by T. E. Lawrence and illustrated by Henry Keen

The Twilight of the Gods is a mix of literary fantasy, mythology, and satire. The stories focus on gods and legendary figures who, though powerful, experience downfall and change. With Lawrence’s introduction and Garnett’s creative writing, the book offers a thoughtful reflection on myths, infused with philosophical musings on power, destiny, and mortality. The illustrations by Henry Keen, particularly the full-page plates such as the one depicting Prometheus, add an additional layer of depth to the reading experience, combining narrative with visual beauty.
