Añadir al carritoHardcover. Condición: Near Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Near Fine. 1st Edition, Illustrated Edition. 8vo., 260pp., eight colour plates and b/w line drawings by Mervyn Peake, orig. cloth lettered in black. A near fine clean copy in a generally VG or better dustwrapper which has a few very small closed nicks on extremities an…d is very lightly spotted. "Lyonne (the lion) arrived on Christmas morning. He had a zip-fastener down his stomach, and a curious taste for pyjamas by day and hot water bottles by night. But Pip wasn't deceived. When Pip let Lyonne loose on the nursery it was by his magic tummy that he rid the nursery so dramatically of its monsters, Ba-Ha the Witch and Grilla the Outlaw, who had held the animals in terror." H.B. Drake (aka Burgess Drake), was a UK teacher, Orientalist and author, who saw active service during World War One. He wrote occasional Fantasy tales involving the occult. Mervyn Peake was born in the hill town of Kuling, Kiang-Hsi Province, China in 1911, Mervyn Peake experienced the same sense of displacement as Rudyard Kipling and other children of the Empire, and this feeling of alienation combines with his genius for invention in his writing. When he was 12 he moved back to England, and by 1929 he had enrolled in the Royal Academy of Art, moving to join an artist s commune in Sark in 1933. It was whilst he was in Sark that he was inspired to write his first book, Captain Slaughterboard Drops Anchor, notable for its poetic style and Peake s trademark fine line drawings. At the outbreak of WWII he joined the Royal Artillery but concentrated on his writing and art. He applied to become a war artist but was turned down, a refusal which led to a nervous breakdown and subsequent invaliding out of the army. Notwithstanding this setback, in 1945 he travelled through war-torn Europe documenting the victims of war through his art and poetry, even travelling to Bergen-Belsen and drawing what he saw there. The horrors he witnessed undoubtedly had a profound impact on his imagination, contributing to the often surreal horrors in the books often known as the Gormenghast trilogy. The next 10 years was spent writing, including the award winning The Glassblowers, and Mr Pye, and illustrating classic literature. From the mid 1950s onwards Peake s health began to fail, he was diagnosed with Parkinson s disease and was dead barely 9 years after the publication of Titus Alone, aged only 57. A man of extraordinary imagination and vision, his work is still an inspiration to many today.
