About This Item
Toronto, Canada: A Douglas Gibson Book/McClelland and Stewart Ltd., 2002 McClelland and Stewart, Toronto Canada. 2002. Hardcover. Book Condition: Near Fine; small coffee spot on text block fore edge. DJ: Near Fine; two closed tears on spine. Book is tight, square and unmarked. Black cloth boards with bright gold lettering on spine. 413 pp. The letters of Robertson Davies show us his remarkable career in all its variety. Happily married with three daughters, the editor of a nationally respected newspaper, the major book reviewer for Saturday Night magazine, the author of several well-received plays and a dozen books including three on the Stratford Festival, he felt his life a failure. Through these letters, the reader can see a promising young man of great ambition slowly turning into a great literary figure. A pristine and clean copy in a Brodart jacket.
