The Manticore - Deptford Trilogy Reprint edition

Hailed by the Washington Post Book World as "a modern classic," Robertson Davies?s acclaimed Deptford Trilogy is a glittering, fantastical, cunningly contrived series of novels, around which a mysterious death is woven. The Manticore?the second book in the series after Fifth Business?follows David Staunton, a man pleased with his success but haunted by his relationship with his larger-than-life father. As he seeks help through therapy, he encounters a wonderful cast of characters who help connect him to his past and the death of his father.
