Description

The third book in Robertson Davies's acclaimed The Deptford Trilogy, with a new foreword by Kelly Link

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. World of Wonders—the third book in the series after The Manticore—follows the story of Magnus Eisengrim—the most illustrious magician of his age—who is spirited away from his home by a member of a traveling sideshow, the Wanless World of Wonders. After honing his skills and becoming better known, Magnus unfurls his life’s courageous and adventurous tale in this third and final volume of a spectacular, soaring work.

For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

About the Author

William Robertson Davies, CC, FRSC, FRSL (died in Orangeville, Ontario) was a Canadian novelist, playwright, critic, journalist, and professor. He was one of Canada's best-known and most popular authors, and one of its most distinguished "men of letters", a term Davies is sometimes said to have detested. Davies was the founding Master of Massey College, a graduate college at the University of Toronto.Novels:The Salterton Trilogy•Tempest-tost(1951)•Leaven of Malice(1954)•A Mixture of Frailties(1958)The Deptford Trilogy•Fifth Business(1970)•The Manticore(1972)•World of Wonders(1975)The Cornish Trilogy•The Rebel Angels(1981)•What's Bred in the Bone(1985)•The Lyre of Orpheus(1988)The Toronto Trilogy(Davies' final, incomplete, trilogy)•Murther and Walking Spirits(1991)•The Cunning Man(1994)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robertso...
