  _Swords and Deviltry_
  
  
  ** is a fantasy short story collection by Fritz Leiber featuring his sword and
  sorcery heroes Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser. It is chronologically the first
  volume in the complete seven volume edition of the collected stories devoted
  to the characters.
  
  
  The Fafhrd and Gray Mouser stories follow the lives of two larcenous but
  likable rogues as they adventure across the fantasy world of Nehwon. The
  pieces in _Swords and Deviltry_ introduce the duo and their relationship,
  present incidents from their early lives in which they meet their first lady-
  loves, and relate how afterwards in the city of Lankhmar the two met and
  allied themselves with each other, and lost their first loves through their
  defiance of the local Thieves' Guild.
