Elric of Melniboné — proud prince of ruins, kinslayer — call him what you will. He remains, together with maybe Jerry Cornelius, Moorcock’s most enduring, if not always most endearing, character…
Contes Du Loup Blanc is not a Michael Moorcock book, as such, but a French anthology of Elric stories by Moorcock and others, originally published in a single volume as Elric: Tales Of The White Wolf (1994); this two-volume edition is unique, with no English-language (two-volume) equivalent.
