Mervyn Peake’s illustrated works include CAPTAIN SLAUGHTERBOARD DROPS ANCHOR, which was recently republished by Candlewick Press. He also illustrated memorable editions of classics such as THE RIME OF THE ANCIENT MARINER, DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE, ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND, and THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS.
