Biografía del autor:
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.

"Each drawing represents a particular Figure of Speech." Following were twenty-nine drawings, identified only by number: a couple with their noses on fire; a gentleman cutting pages from a book; a tropical explorer resting his heels inside water glasses. Revealed in a key at the end were the "figures of speech" the drawings portrayed (in this case, "burning their bridges," "cutting a long story short," and, of course, "cooling his heels"). Now this idiosyncratic volume has been lovingly reissued, its original black-and-white drawings set against colorful panels. Whether enjoyed simply for its witty, intriguing, and masterly pictures or used as a game book with family or friends, Figures of Speech will delight devoted followers of Mervyn Peake and everyone else who loves visual puns."; 6.14 X 0.55 X 8.51 inches; 64 pages.
