Notes
Originally written by Robert E. Howard as a Conan story, "The Frost-Giant's Daughter," that was not accepted for publication.  REH rewrote the story with a different hero (Amra) and changed the title to "The Frost King's Daughter."  "The Frost King's Daughter" was published by THE FANTASY FAN in March 1934 as "Gods of the North."   L. Sprague de Camp found the original manuscript, extensively rewrote it, and named it "The Frost Giant's Daughter" where it appeared in FANTASY FICTION #1 dated August 1953.
