Nightmare Abbey Thomas Love Peacock Folio Society 1994

Description Nightmare Abbey by Thomas Love Peacock In ‘Nightmare Abbey’, Peacock relinquishes his usual cheerful country house in a beautiful landscape and situates Nightmare Abbey, ‘a venerable family-mansion, in a highly picturesque state of semi-dilapidation on a strip of dry land between the sea and the fens’, in the flat countryside of Lincolnshire looking out on the North Sea. Among the strange inhabitants/guests at the Abbey are Mr. Asterias and his son, who are trying to catch a mermaid in the hope of establishing a common ancestry.
