Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. This is the first biography of an intrepid young French woman, Lily Sergueiew, who led an adventurous life and became famous as one of the five D-Day spies. In 1939, her bicycle ride from Paris to Saigon was interrupted by the outbreak of war. Disgusted by the Fall of France in 1940, she took the courageous decision to personally help the Allies drive the Nazis out of France: she would get the Abwehr to train her as a spy and have herself sent to England. Once there, she would betray the Nazis and place herself at the disposal of the Allies. It took three emotionally exhausting years to achieve this. She arrived in England just in time to become TREASURE, one of the five spies who misled the Nazis into believing that the Allies would land in the Pas de Calais. This disinformation operation saved countless lives. But Lily found the English cold and ungenerous towards her. They knew that she had a fatal medical condition. She had also risked her life - and her parents' lives - every day she worked for the Nazis, yet the English would not let her bring the dog who was such a comfort to her. They told her that her work was vital to their cause, but for Lily their behaviour meant that it was not worth a dog. So she hid from them that the Nazis had given her a control code to prove that her radio messages were genuine: it gave her a sense of power to know that she could destroy her work - and the whole D-Day deception - with a single keystroke. She did not intend to use it, but once she had revealed it, she was dismissed straight after D-Day. This meant that she could join the Free French Forces and be sent to France to care for Displaced Persons left in the wake of the retreating Nazis. Working with liberated prisoners from Buchenwald, she married the American Major in charge of the region who had fallen in love with her. He took her to America where he hoped that her condition could be cured. It could not, and she died (largely forgotten) with her husband at her side in 1950. AUTHOR: Although he was born in England, Peter Winnington spent his working life teaching English literature at the University of Lausanne in Switzerland. As a hobby, he edited books and periodicals. This led him to write a biography of Mervyn Peake, which was published in 2000 to coincide with the BBC's screening of Gormenghast, an adaptation of the first two of Peake's novels about Titus Groan. Since then, Peter has been writing biographies, concentrating on the lives of women who have been undeservedly forgotten. 8 b/w illustrations First published biography of Lily, using her own writings and unpublished family papers. One of MI5's five D-Day spies who mis-led the Nazis, from Hitler downwards, into believing that the Allied landing would take place in the Pas de Calais, thus saving countless lives on the beaches of Normandy.

Octavo, 50 issues, paper wrappers, stapled. A nearly complete file, lacking one issue (Volume 10, number 2), of the 51 issues published on paper. Following the October 2013 issue, a few issues were published in electronic form. PEAKE STUDIES ceased publication in 2015 (with volume 14, number 3). Mervyn Laurence Peake (1911-1968) is best known for his Gormenghast saga, the completion of which was prevented by his death. "They are sometimes compared to the work of his older contemporary J. R. R. Tolkien, but Peake's surreal fiction was influenced by his early love for Charles Dickens and Robert Louis Stevenson rather than Tolkien's studies of mythology and philology" (Wikipedia). In 2008, The TIMES named Peake among their list of "The 50 greatest British writers since 1945." PEAKE STUDIES "constituted a unique independent forum for criticism and debate for all those interested in Mervyn Peake's life and work as a writer of novels and short stories, poet, playwright, painter and illustrator. It contained informed articles, critical reviews, reliable news, and controversial views on all aspects of Peake's work, including his impact on other writers and artists. It regularly reproduced previously unpublished or little-known works by Peake -- drawings, paintings (often in color), poems, plays and letters -- and just occasionally works by other artists who had been inspired by him. PEAKE STUDIES came out twice a year, in spring and autumn, between November 1988 and November 2015. After five years, there was a special anniversary issue (Volume 3, No. 3, November 1993) assessing some of the impact of Mervyn Peake's oeuvre on his readers. A quality, typeset publication, with pages in color in the later issues, it averaged 48 pages per issue" (G. Peter Winnington). All issues are in fine condition. (#167525).
