The Coming of Conan the Cimmerian (Conan of Cimmeria, Book 1)
These Conan stories are a very refreshing change from the usual fantasy faire. Somehow, even though they're classic sword and sorcery they manage to feel a lot like they could be real live historical fiction. Every one of the short stories here ha something very good going for it and they always seem to be to draw you into what feels very much like a real life situation even if it does involve a huge serpent or a magical squishy type of creature.
I loved it, an I know you Will too.
