About this ebook
"The Tower of the Elephant" is one of the original short stories starring the fictional sword and sorcery hero Conan the Cimmerian, written by American author Robert E. Howard. It is set in the pseudo-historical Hyborian Age and concerns Conan infiltrating a perilous tower in order to steal a fabled gem from an evil sorcerer named Yara. Due to its unique insights into the Hyborian world and atypical science fiction elements, the story is considered a classic of Conan lore and is often cited by Howard scholars as one of his best tales.[

This work of Conan fiction falls flat with how determined it is to shoehorn
in world building, but the being inside the tower steals the show, as well
as the suspense of climbing the mysterious tower. Not literally by any
means, but it's a fun adventure for someone looking for a heroic fantasy
tale in its purist form.
