''Swords and Ice Magic'' is a fantasy short story collection by Fritz Leiber featuring his sword and sorcery heroes Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser. It is chronologically the sixth volume in the complete seven volume edition of the collected stories devoted to the characters. It was first published in paperback in July 1977 by Ace Books, which reprinted the title numerous times through 1990; a later paperback edition was issued by Dark Horse (2007). It has been published in the United Kingdom by Mayflower Books and Grafton (1986, 1987). The first hardcover edition was issued by Gregg Press in December 1977. The book has also been gathered together with others in the series into various omnibus editions; ''Swords' Masters'' (1990), ''Return to Lankhmar'' (1997), and ''The Second Book of Lankhmar'' (2001). The book collects seven short stories and one novella, three of which were originally published in the anthologies ''Flashing Swords! #1'' (1973) and ''Flashing Swords! #3: Warriors and Wizards'' (1976), the collections ''The Book of Fritz Leiber'' (1974) and ''The Second Book of Fritz Leiber'' (1975), and the magazines ''Fantastic'' for November 1973 and April 1975, ''Whispers'' for December 1973, and ''Cosmos Science Fiction and Fantasy Magazine'' for May and July 1977. "The Frost Monstreme" and "Rime Isle" have also been published separately as the novel ''Rime Isle'' (1977). While the stories were ostensibly assembled in chronological order by the author, internal evidence indicates that the third, "Trapped in the Shadowland," which is a direct sequel to the preceding volume, ''The Swords of Lankhmar'', should actually have been placed first. ==Contents== *"The Sadness of the Executioner" (1973) *"Beauty and the Beasts" (1974) *"Trapped in the Shadowland" (1973) *"The Bait" (1973) *"Under the Thumbs of the Gods" (1975) *"Trapped in the Sea of Stars" (1975) *"The Frost Monstreme" (1976) *"Rime Isle" (1977) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Swords and Ice Magic」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
