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
