From the Introduction
by L. Sprague de Camp

The present volume (subtitled Volume Five of the Complete Conan) is chronologically the first volume of the complete Conan saga, although several of the later volumes have already been published. When complete, the series will comprise at least eight volumes and probably more, with all the stories in proper chronological order.



The biographical paragraphs between the stories are based upon A Probable Outline of Conan's Career, by P. Schuyler Miller and Dr. John D. Clark, published in The Hyborian Age (1938), and on the expanded version of this essay, An Informal Biography of Conan the Cimmerian, by P. Schuyler Miller, John D. Clark, and L. Sprague de Camp, published in Amra, vol. 2, no. 4, (1959), by G.H. Scithers.
