The first Fighting Fantasy book, The Warlock of Firetop Mountain was published in 1982. The series quickly grew, reaching 25 titles around 1986. There were several imitators, including the non-violent Choose your own adventure books.
The series grew to more than fifty titles written by a variety of different authors until it was finally cancelled as sales failed to satisfy in the high street bookstores.
In 2002 the line was re-issued by its original owners Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone. The initial releases (including Warlock of Firetop Mountain[?]) consisted of books that the pair had originally written themselves.
