Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. Frazetta (illustrator). This is the 1968 Lancer Large Type (Easy Eye) Reprint of "The Reign of Wizardry" by Jack Williamson. Originally published in 1940, Williamson completely reinvented Mediterranean history and mythology - the ancient world of Crete, Minos, and Greece, into something never imagined by historians of the ancient past -- "The magic of the Dark One enslaved the world -- Theseus alone stood against it!" From the cover blurb: "THE WALLS OF SORCERY -- Before the glory of Greece, Crete ruled the known world - and kept it enslaved by black magic. The evil of Minos held sway, protected by the three unconquerable walls . First there is the fleet, that they call the wooden wall. Then there is a giant of living brass - he is the second wall. Then there is another barrier about the power of Minos: THE WALL OF WIZARDRY ! Theseus, the tall Achean - the man they called Captain Firebrand - vowed to scale and destroy all three, and to rid the world of the evil yoke of Minos. But Minos had other defenses besides the three walls - and many ways to attack, as well." This is classic Sword and Sorcery!
