In the very last Dying Earth story, "Morreion" in RHIALTO THE MARVELLOUS, Rhialto and his fellow magicians are conveyed across the galaxies by a so-called Peregrine Palace, owned by Vermoulian the Dream Walker. This is a kind of science fictional sortie into Fantasy, as is the city of Ampridatvir in "Ulan Dhor" (Chapter 5 of THE DYING EARTH), so an SF cover for TALES OF THE DYING EARTH is not altogether irrational. --Nick Gevers. ---
