The third of the bestselling Gormenghast trilogy.
Mervyn Peake was born in 1911. He is perhaps most famous for the 'Gormenghast' trilogy which were published between 1946 and 1959 - Titus Groan, Gormenghast and Titus Alone. He has also written a book for children, Captain Slaughterboard Drops Anchor, several volumes of poetry and was a gifted book illustrator. He died in 1968.
[The Gormenghast Trilogy] is one of the most important works of the
imagination to come out of the age that also produced The Four
Quartets, The Unquiet Grave, Brideshead Revisited, The Loved One,
Animal Farm and 1984.

darker chasms of the imagination
*The Times*
Peake's books are actual additions to life; they give, like certain
rare dreams, sensations we never had before
