Bran Mak Morn and the Picts

 

The Pictish story is Howard’s great tragedy. The pathos is nearly over-powering. It was my great pleasure to be the one to suggest that “The Children of the Night,” “The Little People” and “The Bell of Morni” be added to this volume. It is important to look at each Wandering Star / Del Rey volume as a chance to not do the same old collections. As I wrote in my review of Bran Mak Morn: The Last King for The Robert E. Howard Companion #1, these volumes need to be evaluated with a fresh eye. Is there something that hasn’t been included before that should have? Was something always included in each collection that perhaps should be excised?
