  “I read the first novel; liked it. The story sucks you in, and the characters are pretty amazing. And now I've finished all three. What a story! The ending is anticlimactic because I figured out what happened partway through the 2nd novel. But it was still a great read.”

  “This is an amazing book--one that I've read over and over. Complex, mythical, full of the richness of life. So many novels resort to leering, sneering, or despairing as a substitute for profundity. This one is an exception. Davies was a master.”

  “Robertson Davies will be sadly missed - an author who could encourage you to learn from the snippets of wisdom in his books, but didn't talk down to you. Instead you find yourself rising to the challenge, while still enjoying the tale immensely. ”

  “I read this book every 5 years or so. I regard it to be a *sacred text* about the splendor of wonder and building a mythology of self. I totally, agree with sbe
  very astute comment...”
