I was interested in the way Leiber's focus and tone changed over the years (he and Harry Fischer created them and Nehwon in the mid-30's and published the last of their stories in 1988); half of a century is a long time to write in a fantasy world.<br /><br />I prefer the early stories, but there is an awful lot to choose from.John E.

IMHO, Swords Against Death is the best of Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser, and some of the best fantasy out there.<br /><br />I couldn't agree more with your Verdict.John E.
