Hardcover, published by GOLLANCZ UK, 1984.
Mervyn Peake ( 1911-1968) perhaps best known as the author of the Gormenghast series, ,was also a highly accomplished artist and illustrator, as well as a poet.
This book is neither a literary criticism , or a pure biography, but in the author's own words a persoanl memoir of a long and close friendship and an attempt to give a picture through his letters, illustrations ( many full page) and incidents of Mervyn Peake and his life.
The artwork throughout is stunning - and shows the diversity of Paeke's artistic output and style.
