This is the 'Gormenghast Automata' - the ultimate one of a kind accessory for fans of Mervyn Peake, the British novelist who created the Gormenghast trilogy of gothic fantasy novels. • Custom built by an anonymous Gormenghast-loving English craftsman from wood and metal, this brand new automated mechanical device depicts Peake's ominous castle and some of its unusual inhabitants. • Automata, self-operating machines that follow a predetermined set of actions, have a long history and most frequently have been associated with clocks. • Peake's cult trilogy is Titus Groan (published 1946), Gormenghast (1950), and Titus Alone (1959). The author died in 1967 at the age of 57 before any further installments could be completed. His plots focus on the vast castle, which some inhabitants never leave, and the rituals associated with daily life inside its decaying walls. • Learn more at AbeBooks: • https://www.abebooks.co.uk/collectabl...
