Murther & Walking Spirits by Robertson Davies
If you've got a friend, let them know, with timeless words, and touching imagery. Thoughts on friendship from notable authors pair with stunning photo-artistry from Mark J. Barrett to make an ideal gift. We often see the value and comfort of friendship as something only humans enjoy. In this heartwarming and whimsical collection of quotes and phot-art, Mark J. Barrett shows us animals can, and do, benefit greatly from companionship.
Robertson Davies (1913 1995) was born and raised in Ontario, and was educated at a variety of schools, including Upper Canada College, Queen s University, and Balliol College, Oxford. He had three successive careers: as an actor with the Old Vic Company in England; as publisher of the Peterborough Examiner; and as university professor and first Master of Massey College at the University of Toronto, from which he retired in 1981 with the title of Master Emeritus.
He was one of Canada s most distinguished men of letters, with several volumes of plays and collections of essays, speeches, and belles lettres to his credit. As a novelist, he gained worldwide fame for his three trilogies: The Salterton Trilogy, The Deptford Trilogy, and The Cornish Trilogy, and for later novels Murther & Walking Spirits and The Cunning Man.
His career was marked by many honours: He was the first Canadian to be made an Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, he was a Companion of the Order of Canada, and he received honorary degrees from twenty-six American, Canadian, and British universities.
