Conan the Cimmerian: he rose from boy-thief and mercenary to become king of Aquilonia. Neither supernatural fiends nor demonic sorcery could oppose the barbarian warrior as he wielded his mighty sword and dispatched his enemies to a bloody doom on the battlefields of the legendary Hyborian Age.
Collected together for the first time anywhere in the world, in chronological order, are all Robert E Howard's definitive stories of Conan, exactly as he wrote them, as fresh, atmospheric and vibrant today as when they were first published in the pulp magazines more than sixty years ago.
'Fantasy Masterworks' is a library of some of the greatest, most original, and most influential fantasy ever written. These are the books which, along with Tolkien, Peake and others, shaped modern fantasy.

The original Conan stories in all their atmospheric splendour. These two volumes follow the chronological order of Howard's most well-known hero, made even famous by Arnold Schwarzenegger’s film portrayal and comic books galore. But Howard's brand of fantasy has a depth and a characteristic 'Weird Tales'-ness that retains a freshness and edge to this day. - Jeremy (QBD)
