Lean times in Lankhmar - Fritz Leiber

Back to back they stand, eyeing their foes over the gleam of sharpened steel ... They are the two greatest heroes ever to walk the world of Nehwon: Fafhrd, the giant barbarian warrior from the Cold Waste; and the Gray Mouser, novice wizard, master thief and unparalleled swordsman.

From the moment of their fateful meeting, the legendary duo have adventured and misadventured across Nehwon, from the caves of the inner earth to the waves of the outer sea -- but most of all through the alleys and catacombs of fog-shrouded Lankhmar, greatest of Nehwon?s cities. Their lives are chronicled in four books, of which this is the second.
