A Book of Nonsense by Mervyn Peake
Requirements: .PDF reader, 2.70MB
Overview: From the macabre to the brilliantly offbeat, Mervyn Peake’s nonsense verse can, like marzipan, be enjoyed by young and old alike. This collection of writings and drawings has been selected by his widow, Maeve Gilmore, and it introduces a bewitching gallery of characters and creatures rivalling the best of Lewis Carroll and Edward Lear, creatures such as the Dwarf of Battersea and Footfruit. This treasure trove will delight new and old fans alike with its deceptively goofy, actually quite complex verse; it’s quirky and comical, occasionally alarming, but always magical.
