"Figures of Earth, A Comedy of Appearances" by James Branch Cabell.  Thanks
Google!  : )

I wish I could say I was so literate that I did not need to use a search
engine to track down the name and author of the book.  This writer reminds
me somewhat of Lord Dunsany, one of my favorite fantasists.

taken from Google Book Search:
Today, some recognize Cabell as one of the first contemporary writers from
the South. He is also noted for his unique blending of classic myths and
legends with his own imagination and is considered a pioneer of fantasy
writing. Figures of Earth is one of the classic American fantasy novels. It
is set in Cabell's universe, a pseudo-medieval world with a lot of fantastic
props. This story describes the life of Manuel, a swineherd of divine birth
who rises to become a legendary hero and ruler. See other titles by this
author available from Kessinger Publishing.
