I believe that was Dunsinane Castle (in Scotland). Dunsany, fortunately, is 
still in print.
Edward John Moreton Drax Plunkett, the Eighteenth Baron Dunsany, I mean, who 
did 
own a castle (in Ireland) but one which was never, I think, advanced upon by 
a wood.

Mr Esposito advises that he is deeply ambivalent about the profit motive, 
about which
I am serene. It is the public about which I am deeply ambivalent.
