You just reminded me that I scored copies of all the rest of Fritz Leiber's Fafhrd and Gray Mouser books. They're not precisely swashbuckling, but they do scratch the same itch.<br /><br />(I never did thank you for the books you sent me, btw. Thanks! Ariel's near the top of the to be read pile for sure.)K.C.
