Synopsis
Around a mysterious death is woven a glittering, fantastical, cunningly contrived trilogy of novels: "Fifth Business", often described as Robertson Davies' finest novel; "The Manticore", and "World of Wonders". Luring the reader down labyrinthine tunnels of myth, history and magic, "The Deptford Trilogy" provides an exhilarating antidote to a world from where 'the fear and dread and splendour of wonder have been banished. 'His books will be recognized with the very best works of this century' - "The New York Times" Book Review.

UK Kirkus review
There are some pretty peculiar goings-on in this majestic work by the great Canadian author - a wonderfully elaborate story, rich in character and labyrinthine of plot, which left me with the feeling that I had emerged from some utterly fascinating dream, its details blurred in my waking memory, but its impact ineradicable. Review by Jan Morris, whose books include 'Lincoln: A Foreigner's View' (Kirkus UK)
