Cathy Hill’s illustrations for the 1975 edition of Harold Lamb’s Three Palladins, a Central Asian story about a young Temujin, later to be known as Genghis Khan, and his two great companions, including his warrior woman sister. The trio encounter the legendary kingdom of Prester John and its strange magic. Originally published in 1923, in the greatest pulp magazine of all time: Adventure.
Harold Lamb was the greatest of that first generation of adventure writers who had a hint of the strange and otherworldly, the mysticism of the east, that would eventually result in the fantasy genre. He is forgotten now, but he’s aged so much better than nearly everyone else doing adventure historicals from the 1910s and 1920s.
