This review is from: Worms of the Earth. (Paperback)

For those who grew up on this stuff, it's a blast from the past.
You either like it, or you don't.
Of course it's too bad the so-called science of Howard's time didn't fully apreciate that the Picts were the very same people living in Scotland today .. which explains why the Romans pulled back and built a huge wall to cringe behind while they celebrated their so-called victory.
But I do love the myths Howard created .. he was one of the greatest fantasy writers of all time.

Also, when the seller says 'like new', they mean it. My copy looks brand new.
