Davies Robertson
A Voice From the Attic
NY: Penguin Books 1990. Soft cover. Very Good. From the book ""An urbane robust and wonderfully opinionated voice from Canada sometimes called America's attic"" speaks here of the delights of reading and of what mass education has done to readers today to taste to books to culture. With his usual wit and breadth of vision Robertson Davies ranges through the world of letters--books renowned and obscure old and recent; English Irish Canadian and American writers both forgotten and fondly remembered. This volume unique in both format and quality contains the distilled reflections of a brilliant sensitive mind.Mr. Davies' somewhat trenchant often amusing always enlightening words are a classic illustration of the intellectual honesty and literacy excellence of which he speaks."" Soft cover in very good condition Text block clean and tight. Book has a very light stain on side text block. Revised Edition. Penguin Books paperback
