Both a photograph and a comprehensive biography of Mervyn Peake will feature in a new book to be published by Quintessence, part of Quarto Publishing, in September 2008. Titled 501 Great Writers - A Comprehensive Guide to the Giants of Literature (price £15) this will be a 'one stop guide to the men and women who have written the greatest books of all time', we're told by the publisher.
