Everything about Mr Pye totally explained
Mr Pye is a short
1953 novel by English novelist
Mervyn Peake.
Set on the
Channel Island of
Sark, it's a
Christian allegory. When Mr Pye does something good, he grows angel's wings, and when he does something bad, he gains diabolical characteristics. It is a relatively tightly-structured novel in which
God implicitly mocks the evangelical pretensions, hypocrisy and cosy world-view of the eponymous hero.
In
1986 Mr Pye was adapted as a four-part
Channel 4 miniseries starring
Derek Jacobi filmed on Sark itself. The DVD of the series is now available from The Official Website of Mervyn Peake It was reshown on
More4 (Sister station of Channel 4) between 08 October 2007 to 13 October 2007 as part of the run-up to Channel Four's 25th birthday celebrations.
It was also adapted into a radio play, by the author, in the 1950s.
