3.0 out of 5 stars Early Moorcock, interesting Harrison, 4 May 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Golden Barge: A Fable (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 Synopsis, 8 Dec 2007

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...
