The Cornish Trilogy: What's Bred in the Bone, The Rebel Angels, The Lyre of Orpheus by Robertson Davies |
Want to escape from this real world? Here's another spellbinding trilogy from the author of The Deptford Trilogy (bwl 90). The titles alone are enough to stir the imagination. We follow the life, death and legacy of Francis Cornish, a Toronto art patron. Amongst the cast of characters are eccentric professors, a defrocked monk, a beautiful gypsy's daughter . . . A page-turning saga of academic and artistic life involving theft, murder and love in twentieth century Canada and underlying all, Davies's delicious sense of humour!
