Howard was originally published in 1935 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'The Treasure of Tartary' is a story in the Kirby O'Donnell series in which O'Donnell searches for the forbidden city of Shahrazar. Robert Ervin Howard was born in Peaster, Texas in 1906. During his youth, his family moved between a variety of Texan boomtowns, and Howard - a bookish and somewhat introverted child - was steeped in the violent myths and legends of the Old South. At fifteen Howard began to read the pulp magazines of the day, and to write more seriously. The December 1922 issue of his high school newspaper featured two of his stories, 'Golden Hope Christmas' and 'West is West'. In 1924 he sold his first piece - a short caveman tale titled 'Spear and Fang' - for $16 to the not-yet-famous Weird Tales magazine. Howard's most famous character, Conan the Cimmerian, was a barbarian-turned-King during the Hyborian Age, a mythical period of some 12,000 years ago. Conan featured in seventeen Weird Tales stories between 1933 and 1936 which is why Howard is now regarded as having spawned the 'sword and sorcery' genre. The Conan stories have since been adapted many times, most famously in the series of films starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57484186386805,"sku":"9781473323506","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781473323506.jpg?v=1786266228"},{"product_id":"the-conan-chronicles-volume-2","title":"The Conan Chronicles: Volume 2","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe second volume, completing the definitive collection of Conan stories, featuring the most distinctive and well-known fantasy hero of all time\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConan the Cimmerian: he rose from boy-thief and mercenary to become king of Aquilonia.
