In what year was "The Ghosts" written?

"The Ghosts" is a short story included in a collection of short stories by Edward Plunkett, who published under the name Lord Dunsany. The collection, The Sword of Welleran and Other Stories, was the third book published by Lord Dunsany and was published in October of 1908. Lord Dunsany's most well-known and influential works were published in a time frame between 1905 to 1919, and in this time frame he wrote many stories in what is now considered the fantasy genre, although the genre did not exist in his time. Some of the short stories in The Sword of Welleran refer back to Lord Dunsany's creation of various gods and creatures first appearing in his two previous books, The Gods of Pegāna and Time and the Gods. Lord Dunsany's creation of the fantasy genre would later influence writers who are now considered pinnacles of the fantasy genre, such as J. R. R. Tolkien, Ursula K. Le Guin, and H. P. Lovecraft.
