About this book

Yorke engages in many of the same endeavors as British novelist, story writer, playwright, poet, book illustrator, and painter Peake (1911-68), but is also a biographer. In all his genres, he says, Peake either predated or postdated the fashion--for example his fantasy novels later became popular, but his representational paintings maintain their obscurity.
