In my oppinion, Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser are the greatest of all adventurers. Combined with Leibers amazing talent to write a darker fantasy than most out there, it makes for some truly wonderfull reading.

I reccomend all the books highly. Though the Snow Women and The Unholy Grail (the opening stories) can be a little hard to get through, once you do, you'll be glad for the backround info, and the base for the rest of the stories. They are amazing.

I have always heard that those are very good stories! Where would you recommend that someone get started with them?

They ussually come in small paperbakcs with a few stories a piece. The first is called Swords and Devilty which contains "Snow Women" (the beginnings of Fafhrd), the Unholy Grail (the beginnings of the Grey Mouser) and "Ill Met in Lankhmar."

That's the best place to start.

I love them, although to my sorrow, they've been tough for me to find. I've got Swords of Lankhmar, and a couple of short stories scattered in various collections, but that's all.

Great books if you haven't read them Duchess.

You can get pretty much all of the collections from mobipocket:
