[edit] HUNTING OF THE SNARK
This new edition has been published to coincide with the dramatization of Mervyn Peake's 'Gormenghast' trilogy. Re-originated from his original artwork, it includes a selection of his remarkable working sketches.
'Mervyn Peake has a magic in his pen. He can annihilate the dimensions.' (Charles Morgan, 1947) This is true of Peake's writing and his drawings, as these illustrations to Lewis Carroll's mock-heroic nonsense poem testify. Richly brought to life with some of Peake's most exquisite line drawings THE HUNTING OF THE SNARK is a brilliant marriage of two of the most inventive imaginations. Carroll claimed that the inspiration for THE HUNTING OF THE SNARK (1876) sprang from 'one line of verse - one solitary line of verse - 'For the Snark was a Boojum, you see, that came to him one day in 1874 while he was out walking. To questions asking whether the poem was an allegory, or a political satire, or contained some hidden moral, he claimed to have 'but one answer, 'I don't know! (The Theatre, 1887). This edition, re-originated from original artwork, includes a selection of Peake's working sketches never before published.
