Peake's Progress: Selected Writings and Drawings

Brilliant, disturbing, fantastical and addicitive, Mervyn Peake at one time or another during his brief life touched on almost every literary form. For the aficionado and for the first-time reader, this selection of his less well-known works offers a treasure trove. It includes a wealth of short stories, poems, nonsense verse and drawings - all of them adding new perspectives on this prolific and astonishingly original writer.
