This is Robert E. Howard's original version of the early Conan story "The Frost-Giant's Daughter." This version is distinct from an earlier version re-written by Howard and published in The Fantasy Fan (1934), and also distinct from a version extensively re-written by L. Sprague de Camp in 1953. Written by Howard in 1932, this version was not actually published in its original form until 1976.
