Description
London, just after the war, was a city desperately trying to get back on its feet. For Michael Moorcock, this was a time of first tentative approaches to adulthood - a job on Fleet Street, the first stirrings of his interest in writing. It was also a chance for him to discover a world of magic and wonder. As he navigated the challenges of growing up, Michael Moorcock's life became intertwined with that of a mysterious Carmelite Friar. This parallel London, peopled with highwaywomen, musketeers, and magicians, was a place where fantasy and reality blurred. In this unique blend of memoir and story, Michael Moorcock reveals the formative experiences that shaped his writing. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of one of modern fantasy's most influential figures, as he weaves together elements of his real life with his imaginative adventures.
