''Swords and Sorcery'' is a 1963 anthology of fantasy short stories in the sword and sorcery subgenre, edited by L. Sprague de Camp and illustrated by Virgil Finlay. It was first published in paperback by Pyramid Books. It has the distinction of being the first sword and sorcery anthology ever assembled, and paved the way for three additional such anthologies edited by de Camp and many more produced by other editors and publishers. It has also been translated into German. The book collects eight sword and sorcery tales by various authors, with an overall introduction by de Camp. The piece by Poul Anderson later became one of the foundational stories of the ''Thieves' World'' shared world anthologies edited by Robert Asprin and Lynn Abbey. ==Contents== *"Introduction: Heroic Fantasy" (L.
