Notes

Book 2 in the original "Fafhrd & The Gray Mouser" series of books, named after the two half-hero, outrageous characters who are both closely-bound comrades and, often enough, serious rivals; rogues, but not villains: neither would hesitate to rob a fat trader rich enough to reward the risk, but nor would they kill - not unless the next, badly-needed square meal depended upon it. . .

Comments and Reviews


ppint. 9th Oct 2020		the number-string 441-79151-095 is not an sbn nor is it an sbn with price in cents appended. i do not know who rewrote the notes and introduced this and various other errors - nor why. the notes section - or this entire item - should be deleted.
