The Illustrated Gormenghast Trilogy (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781590207178)

Intoxicating, rich, and unique, The Gormenghast Trilogy is a tour de force that ranks as one of the 20th century's most remarkable feats of imaginative writing. This special illustrated edition is accompanied by over 100 of Peake's dazzling drawings.

Titus is expected to rule this extraordinary kingdom and his eccentric and wayward subjects. But with the arrival of an ambitious kitchen boy, Steerpike, the established order is thrown into disarray.

Over the course of these three novels--Titus Groan, Gormenghast, and Titus Alone--Titus must contend with a kingdom about to implode beneath the weight of centuries of intrigue, treachery, manipulation, and murder.
