The Gormenghast series by Mervyn Peake is perhaps the best example of this I’ve ever seen. He makes Gormenghast, the city-sized castle, a living, breathing, empathetic character, and he does it in so subtle a fashion you don’t even realized it’s happened until you finish the book and you find yourself thinking of the setting as an old friend. ▬▬▬▬ Credit/Attributions ▬▬▬▬ For a complete list of all sources used in all videos, please visit our Comprehensive Content Sources document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HFR3ck0NhdUchKM0atkKsZT4yl9xiY3-7FVELBhY89U/edit#bookmark=id.va9ij84w2imq Additional Music by Epidemic Sound: http://epidemicsound.com ▬▬▬▬ What is Tale Foundry? ▬▬▬▬ If fiction were a material, we would be its manufacturing plant.
