Summary: "Never had beggars such a time!"
Comment: Lord Dunsany is best known for his fantasy short stories and a few novels, and sadly not for his plays. "Gods of the Mountain" is simple and very much containing the flavor of his short stories, but something that bored preteens could put on for their schools.

Basically the plot involves three beggars who are lamenting the sad state of begging in their city, because "the gods are drowsy and all that is divine in man is dead." They're even considering abandoning their noble tradition and opening shops. But then they bump into the extremely wise Agmar and his servant Slag. Agmar helps the beggars disguise themselves as gods and fool the inhabitants of the city of Kongros.

It's a cute, fast-moving little story with likeable characters, Woldery wine, and a moderately goofy storyline which is kept grounded with Dunsany's mythical-sounding prose. Nice work.
