4.0 out of 5 stars
A collection of overlooked gems by a literary giant,
By A Customer
This review is from: Book of Nonsense (Hardcover)
Mervyn Peake, best known for his Gormenghast Trilogy, shows another side of his writing in this wonderful collection of poetry. These rhymes seem silly at first, but once you go over them a couple of times you realize that they are much more than nonsense. Also, even if you want to ignore the meanings of the poems, the artistry involved in the writing is delightful. Each word builds upon the last to create a complex structure that is wonderfully stimulating. I only give it an 8 out of 10 because it is a fairly short book, and everyone should read the Gormenghast Trilogy first anyway
