SCIENCE FICTION. Gollancz is very proud to present the author's definitive editions of the saga of Elric, the last emperor of Melnibone. Michael Moorcock and his long-time friend and bibliographer John Davey have collaborated to produce the most consistent and coherent narrative from the disparate novels, novellas, short stories and non-fiction about Elric. From his early life in Melnibone all the way through to his final days, these seven volumes will be the definitive telling of the albino prince's story. Elric is one of the great creations of modern fantasy, and has inspired legions of imitators. If you know his story already, then this definitive edition will finally let you read the entire saga in the author's preferred order. If you've never experienced the chronicles of the albino with the soul-sucking sword, then this is the perfect place to start.

"A prequel written years after the initial short stories found in "The Stealer of Souls", this kicked off a short trilogy, and is an excellent place to start with Elric. A colorful, adventurous beginning for an ultimately tragic and violent character, this novel is a must read for fantasy readers, as Moorcock's writing is just as important to modern fantasy as Tolkien."

"There are many in the series that are about the same length. All but the last can be read as stand alone. A very mercurial sense of connections. I felt a bit transported and strangely emotional. An icy fog, pale as Elric, misty and mysterious. Highly recommend. "
