A mesmerising collection of stories from 'the master storyteller of our time' [Angela Carter] Stories of London's past, present and future, of brave old ladies, beatific unfrocked vicars, Irish-Americans, and the seedy side of the London tourist trade combine in this showcase of Moorcock's narrative talent. Moorcock, like Dickens, paints his characters larger than fiction and his similar affection for the weak and the marginalised, and his faith in their powers of self-renewal, make this collection worthy of the comparison. 'He is,' said Angela Carter in the Guardian, 'the master storyteller of our time'.
