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.
?Robertson Davies is one of the great modern novelists.?
?Malcolm Bradbury, "The Sunday Times" (London)
?Robertson Davies is a novelist whose books are thick and rich
with humor, character and incident. They are plotted with skill and
much flamboyance.? ?"The Observer" (London)
