Publisher's summary

Before writing the Conan stories, Robert E. Howard wrote an alternate history of the world that included the origins of the various races and countries that formed the background of his most famous heroic character. This history shows where the Cimmerians originated and the tribes they fought to establish their kingdom. How did the backward skin-wearing Picts overrun an empire? The answers are here. Fans of the Conan stories will enjoy this grand view of the history of the Hyborian Age.

A must-have for any Howard/Conan fan

Very detailed, informative view of the history of the country and kingdoms of Howard’s lore. Explains and very brief passages how the HYBEOR I a lens came to be, I’ll be it this is a short read in comparison to other Howard books, it is still Great!

Very Tolkien like , in fact I’m not entirely sure Tolkien didn’t steal his ideas from Howard
