==From the back==

Here are tales of heroes of old - brawny adventurers ready to storm the gates of Hell with their valor and ready blades for a purse of gold ... or a wench. And here are a legion of wizards, ghouls, demons - and worse - casting dire enchantments and summoning all the powers of darkness to their aid. ...

In this anthology of heroic fantasy, SPRAGUE DE CAMP has collected stories which resound with the clash of battle in the eerie night ... which reek the unholy smoke of the magician's cell ... which draw the reader into a strange, thrilling, weird world of SWORDS AND SORCERY
