SWORDS & SORCERIES Volume 1

I could do no better than use de Camp’s own words from his intruction to The Spell of Seven in 1965 when he graphically described the genre with this question: “How would you like to escape to a world of wizards and warlocks, warriors and wenches – a world where gleaming cities raise their shining spires against the stars, sorcerers cast sinister spells from subterranean lairs, baleful spirits stalk through crumbling ruins, primeval monsters crash through jungle thickets, and the fate of kingdoms is balanced on the bloody blades of broadswords brandished by heroes of preternatural might and valour?”If your answer is Yes then this book should be right for you.Today there are new masters of swords and sorcery, some of whom you will find within these pages.
