This volume contains memoirs by Maeve Gilmore (Peake's widow) and Sebastian Peake (their elder son), which I've reviewed separately:
Maeve's book, "A World Away", 4*, my review HERE.
Sebastian's book, "A Child of Bliss", 2*, my review HERE.
Published completely separately, I've also reviewed daughter Clare's book, "Under a Canvas Sky" which would actually fit far better with Maeve's. I rated it 4*. My review is HERE.
Reviews of my many Peake/Gormenghast books, his words and his art, are on this
