No, but you just saved Pellaz a good bit of typing. Hoorah!

Quote:
(I) Elric of Melniboné
Book 1
Book 2
Book 3
The Fortress of the Pearl
He wrote Fortress much later, but chronologically it fits in there. As a side note, sharp-eyed readers will note a familiar first name in the dedication for the American edition.

Quote:
(II) The Sailor on the Seas of Fate
Book One: Sailing To the Future
Book Two: Sailing To the Present
Book Three: Sailing To the Past
(III) The Weird of the White Wolf
Prologue: The Dream of Earl Aubec
Book One: The Dreaming City
Book Two: While the Gods Laugh
Book Three: The Singing Citadel
(IV) The Vanishing Tower (The Sleeping Sorceress)
Book One: The Torment of the Last Lord
Book Two: To Snare the Pale Prince
Book Three: Three heroes With a Single Aim
The Revenge of the Rose
(V) The Bane of the Black Sword
Book One: The Stealer of Souls
Book Two: Kings in Darkness
Book Three: The Flamebringers (aka The Caravan of Forgotten Dreams)
Epilogue: To Rescue Tanelorn
(VI) Stormbringer
Book One: Dead God's Homecoming
Book Two: Black Sword's Brothers
Book Three: Sad Giant's Shield
Book Four: Doomed Lord's Passing
I added the italics to indicate the more commonly-found book titles.

There is no easy answer regarding the order in which to read the Elric Saga, BTW, but chronologically makes more sense than most.
