About the Author
Mervyn Peake (1911-1968) wrote poetry and plays, practiced as a painter and illustrator, and designed theatrical costumes. In the years since his death he has achieved something of a cult following, especially among adult fantasy readers, and is best known for his Gormenghast trilogy of
novels comprising TITUS GROAN (1946), GORMENGHAST (1950), and TITUS ALONE (1959). Mervyn Peake’s illustrated works include CAPTAIN SLAUGHTERBOARD DROPS ANCHOR, which was recently republished by Candlewick Press. He also illustrated memorable editions of classics such as THE RIME OF THE ANCIENT MARINER, DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE, ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND, and THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS.
