Written for children, this book by Mervyn Peake is a combination of pencil drawing and typed manuscript. It is written in the form of letters from a lost uncle who is travelling in distant Polar Regions in search of the white lion. He has a spike for a leg, and is accompanied by his retainer, Jackson - a bizarre turtle figure. Originally published in 1948 the book was well-received but Peake complained about the war-time quality of the paper on which it was printed and it was subsequently withdrawn. It was reissued in 1976. EXTERNAL LINK |
