The Hugo and Nebula Award–winning series of swords and sorcery, featuring two unorthodox heroes, from a Grand Master of Science Fiction and Fantasy. Many decades before George R. R. Martin’s Game of Thrones, Grand Master Fritz Leiber ruled the sword-and-sorcery universe. These three short story collections chronicle the unconventional adventures of Leiber’s endearing antiheroes: barbarian Fafhrd and former wizard’s apprentice, the Gray Mouser. Swords and Deviltry: Fafhrd, a handsome barbarian of the Steppes, is seduced by a beautiful prostitute and her equally intoxicating city, while the Gray Mouser, a slum rat wizard-in-training, is tempted by the dark arts. The two men meet on a night of multiple thieveries and an enduring partnership is born. Swords Against Death: Rogue swordsmen and devoted companions Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser pursue ill-gotten fortunes within the confines of Lankhmar. They cross paths with two wizards, Sheelba of the Eyeless Face and Ningauble of the Seven Eyes, and a most violent clash ensues. Eventually, following further adventures, the two antiheroes end up as indentured swordsman servants to their former foes. Swords in the Mist: A cloud of concentrated hatred and lean times in Lankhmar compels Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser to temporarily depart the most corrupt metropolis in all of Nehwon as they seek adventure in the realm of the Sea-King—and on a different world entirely. This must-read collection of Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser short stories features multiple Hugo and Nebula Award–nominated tales, and includes the acclaimed novella Ill Met in Lankhmar.

Winter Day Play! puts the fun back into cold, snowy days for teachers and young children. Instead of the same old snow angels, they can try a Layer Up Relay that will get them bundled up fast, Snow Painting with spray bottles filled with food coloring, and making Snow Cream with fresh fallen snow. Kids will delight in building a Japanese Snow Cottage or playing the Native American Snow Snake Game. More than 70 activities will keep kids busy learning, exploring, and having fun all winter long. When it is just too cold to go outside, they’ll make Eskimo Yo-Yos, have a Marshmallow Sculpture Contest, or make a Snowflake Mobile. Parents and teachers can surprise kids with a Topsy-Turvy party, a Hawaiian luau, or a Winter Picnic. Whether in a group or by themselves, kids will find things to do inside or outside, wherever they live.
