-PROFILE : Peake Practice : He never earned much money and he looked like a tramp. He grew up in Chaina among dragons but later moved to Croydon. He wore red waistcoats and bright orange ties. His life was cut short by illness, brain surgery and prematuire senility. He gave us Gormenhast and changed the world. His name was Mervyn Peake, and he may have been the 20th centry's greatest fantasist (John Walsh, 14 January 2000, Independent uk)
