3.0 out of 5 stars Early Moorcock, interesting Harrison 4 May 2001

By A Customer

Format:Paperback

Worth reading for the Harrison introduction which also tells us something about the two men's friendship. Moorcock wrote this as a teenager but as Harrison points out, the obsessions are pretty much all there, as are the influences! The story can be read in the Earl Aubec collection, but this is worth having for the gorgeous cover and the Harrison introduction.

5.0 out of 5 stars A marvellous voyage of fantasy meeting unusual people 26 May 2010

By Rosie Gamgee

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

"This was the first novel I completed. It was in 1958 when i was very much under the spell of Mervyn Peake..." says Muichael Moorcock in his Introduction.

That was the reason I got hold of a copy of this book when it came out in 1979; however it has taken me until now to get around to reading it - while I was revisiting Castle Gormenghast again.

This is the story of a quest of Jephraim Tallow, a four-foot, wide-mouthed,red-haired, grinning travesty of the human race. He follows the Golden Barge down river and along the way meets revolutionaries and do-gooders, aliens and angels, lovers and lost children. But he keeps returning to the river (just like Ratty?)

Like many of Moorcock's early works it is an easy read and the story of Jephraim and Miranda is a touching love story which adds to the enjoyment.

Jephraim Tallow went on to appear in Moorcock's fantasy novel Gloriana - guess what I will be re-reading next - I'd better buy another copy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Synopsis 8 Dec 2007

By Mary_10

Format:Paperback

City - troubled but untroubled, the river flooded silently through the dawn mist. Drifting banks of early fog shrouded the cluttered townscape: the twisting alleyways, the jagged spires and ant-heap tenements. Soon, soon the sun would burn through and dissolve the looming morning mystery. But for the moment Jephraim Tallow could sit, shiveringly intent, by the river, look down at his misshapen, strangely proportioned body and wonder. Then it was that the golden barge, drifting but purposeful, emerged from the glowing haze, burning brightly with an inner light, to fade again, unexplained, silent. Jephraim Tallow knew then that he had to follow, alone, that lure, the mystic enticement that would lead him down the river, deep into the fabled downstream lands of war, of famine and enchantment...
