Jirel of Joiry - C.L. Moore - Rare 1969 1st Paperback Library Nikolaus Pevsner Aldiss • review by JoannaCondition: Acceptable. Please see the images for more details. Chip in front of paperback cover! Blurb: C. L. Moore created Jirel, ruler of Joiry, in reaction to the beefy total testosterone blood and thunder tales of '30s pulp magazines, but Jirel is no anti Conan. She's a good Catholic girl, stubbornly purposeful, relentless in pursuit of enemies or vengeance, hard boiled and a little stupid, and cannot be distracted by mere physical attractiveness.
