An article in The Lady Magazine

An article will appear in The Lady magazine on the 11th December. Titled Mervyn Peake's World it will trace the way in which Mervyn Peake was influenced by events in his childhood, which are then passed on down through the generations by way of various talents.

The article ends by quoting from the final page of Gormenghast in which the countess addresses her son Titus who is preparing to leave his castle home.

'There is nowhere else, you will only tread a circle Titus Groan. There's not a road, not a track, but it will lead you home. For everything comes to Gormenghast'.
