Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser, by Tom Kidd |
Hello, Cromrades! The new year is well underway, and we hope 2018 is treating you kindly thus far! And, we hope you are still in the holiday spirit, as we recorded this episode just before Christmas! Gather your treasure hunting effects and prepare for a journey! We have a scroll which contains a riddle to solve, and we believe it will lead us to riches beyond our wildest dreams! Join us as we accompany Fafhrd and The Gray Mouser on a search for Jewels in the Forest, and delve further into the life of Fritz Leiber! A full text of this story is difficult to find online, but you can read it in Swords Against Death (Amazon, AbeBooks).
