Introduction

The most beautiful Conan books there is! The third and last volume was published in 2009 by Book Palace Books for Wandering Star, under the title Conan of Cimmeria: Volume Three (1935), and the following year in the United States by Ballantine/Del Rey under the title 'The Bloody Crown of Conan'. The Science Fiction Book Club subsequently reprinted the complete set in hardcover; the set is noted for presenting the original, unedited versions of Howard’s Conan tales. This volume includes the only Conan novel and three short stories as well as miscellanea for Howard fans and enthusiasts and is illustrated by noted artist Gregory Manchess.

The texts for this edition were based on Howard’s original typescripts or the first published appearance if a typescript was unavailable.
