Review:

"[The Gormenghast Trilogy] is one of the most important works of the imagination to come out of the age that also produced The Four Quartets, The Unquiet Grave, Brideshead Revisited, The Loved One, Animal Farm and 1984." (Anthony Burgess)

"A master of the macabre and a traveller through the deeper and darker chasms of the imagination" (The Times)

"Peake's books are actual additions to life; they give, like certain rare dreams, sensations we never had before" (C. S. Lewis)

From the Publisher:

The third of the bestselling Gormenghast trilogy.
