Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. Mervyn Peake (illustrator). Light spine crease, otherwise without flaw. 6 X 9" 576 pages, Weight Over 1 kg. Brilliant, disturbing, fantastical and addictive, 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 of short stories, poems, nonsense verse and drawings - all of them adding new perspectives on this prolific and astonishingly original writer.

(Quote from inside front of dustwrapper blurb). ***First impression of the simultaneous true first edition, complete in its original dustwrapper.
