Description

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, 2nd 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 thru Jungian therapy, he encounters a wonderful cast of characters who help connect him to his past & his father's death.
