Michael Moorcock: The Dreamthief's Daughter

By GILBERT WONG

Moorcock, who resembles either a Cossack or a hippie leftover from Glastonbury, has created a series of mythic histories for decades. Principal among his cast has been Elric of Melnibone, albino ruler of a dying society who wields the ebony sword Soulbringer.

While on the surface this might seem the stuff of pomp rock fantasy, airbrushed panel vans and gaudy T-shirts, Moorcock's material has always had a depth and resonance others lack.

His multiverse, where realities entwine, has always been a good place to explore on a winter's day.
