Cornish Trilogy

Mat Barber

9 years ago

For those who haven't read Roberston Davies, the Cornish Triology is a great place to start.

Davies takes you back to your University days and makes you think twice about the lives of your professors - not so dull afterall! His descriptions of academic life at U of T, the Rosedale rooming houses of old (before they were converted into multi-million dollar dwellings) and life in the Ottawa Valley are fascinating - particularly for an Ontario native.

Anyone with an interest in music, art history, religion or travel will find this trilogy a treat.
