A sumptuous hardback to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the birth of Robert E. Howard, one of the true masters of fantasy. This is the first time the complete Conan stories have been collected in one volume, and the book will feature a brand new cover painting and frontispiece by the award-winning artist Les Edwards.

Robert E. Howard (1906-1936) was born and raised in rural Texas, the son of a pioneer physician. He began writing professionally at the age of fifteen and turned out dozens of tales of heroic and supernatural fantasy, featuring many memorable creations - including the character he is best remembered for: Conan of Cimmeria. These stories, mostly published in Weird Tales, won him a huge audience across the world and influenced a whole generation of writers, from Robert Jordan to Raymond E. Feist. Sadly, Howard killed himself in June 1936 when he learned that his beloved mother had fallen into a coma.
