"In striking contrast to the objectivity of the writing are Mr Mervyn Peake's illustrations.He contributes over fifty drawings, ranging from thumbnail sketches of astonishing expressiveness to elaborate plates in line and wash, which convey all the sinister horror, that lurking dreadful fascination that the word 'Witchcraft' conjures up."(The Birmingham Post).

Dustwrapper, illustrated by Mervyn Peake, has small tears and losses to top and tail of spine and corner tips, scuffing to spine edge, in a clear protective wrap. Scarce. VG/VG.
