Peake's Progress: Selected Writings and Drawings of Mervyn
Peake by Mervyn
Peake (Author), Maeve
Gilmore (Author)
Peake's Progress is a selection, compiled by his widow, Maeve
Gilmore, from every period of his work as a writer and draughtsman. It contains
a remarkable work from childhood, "The White Chief of the Umzimbooboo
Kaffirs;" the early "Mr. Slaughterboard," which foreshadows the
"Titus" books; two plays, "The Wit to Woo" and "Noah's
Ark;" a broadcast version of "Mr. Pye," and a generous selection
of Peake's short stories, poems and nonsense verses and drawings―all of them
adding new perspectives on this prolific and astonishingly original writer. Including
a new preface written by Mervyn Peake's son, Sebastian, this edition of Peake's
Progress is published to coincide with the centenary of Peake's birth. –

The Sunday Books by Michael
Moorcock (Author), Mervyn
Peake (Illustrator)
He illustrated his spontaneous stories with delightfully
vivid drawings of the characters in his tales, but never set down words to go
with them. Now, decades after Peake¹s death, world-renowned fantasy writer (and
friend of the Peakes) Michael Moorcock has written verses to go with Peake¹s
drawings. This star collaboration--funny, surprising, and haunting by turns--is
accompanied by an illuminating and elegiac introduction by Moorcock. Overlook
is publishing The Sunday Books to mark the centenary of Peake¹s birth, which
will be commemorated around the world on July 9, 2011. – Amazon.
