About the Author
Mervyn Peake was the author of The Glassblowers, Gormenghast, The Rhyme of the Flying Bomb, Shapes and Sounds, Titus Alone, and Titus Groan. He was awarded the W. H. Heinemann Foundation Prize by the Royal Society of Literature in 1950.
Review
'Peake deserves a place among the eccentrics of the English tradition alongside Sterne, Blake, Lear, Carroll and Belloc.' - TLS 'He can try on the strangest clothes without losing his own strange identity... a genuinely haunted imagination which stamps everything he wrote or drew.' - GUARDIAN
