I recently finished reading the Gormenghast Trilogy by Mervyn Peake. Titus Groan is born the heir to Gormenghast castle, and finds himself in a world predetermined by complex rituals that have been made obscure by the passage of time. I made slow and steady progress through the first half of book 1 (Titus Groan). This year marks the 60th anniversary of the publishing of the first part of Mervyn Peake's Gothic trilogy.

I first had a go at reading the Gormenghast trilogy about 24 years ago, at the age of 19, when I was reading a lot of science and fantasy fiction. This is a whacking great read of over a thousand pages in the volume I picked. Titus Groan, the book, formed the first part of Mervin Peake's imaginative, haunting "Gormenghast" trilogy, one of post-war Britain's finest literary achievements. The first volume of the GORMENGHAST trilogy of fantasy novels. Titus Groan (1946), the first book in the Gormenghast trilogy, is a panoramic depiction of the walled city of Gormenghast and its bizarre inhabitants. In 1969 I also first read Mervyn Peake's remarkable trilogy of novels, beginning with 'Titus Groan', then 'Gormenghast' and lastly 'Titus alone'. Titus Groan: Book 1 of the Gormanghast Trilogy, Mervyn Peake. I read Mervyn Peake's Gormenghast trilogy only about three years ago and enjoyed it very much – even the lesser, third book.
