Whats Bred In the Bone

Penguin Putnam~trade

A goodhearted priest and scholar, a professor with a passion for the darker side of medieval psychology, a defrocked monk, and a rich young businessman who inherits some troublesome paintings are all helplessly beguiled by the same coed.

The Rebel Angels

Contemporary

Penguin Books, Ltd.

One of Canadian author Robertson Davies' most dazzling achievements, "The Cornish Trilogy" explores the life and influence of eccentric art patron Francis Cornish and comprises "The Rebel Angels", "What's Bred in the Bone" (shortlisted for the Booker Prize in 1986) and "The Lyre of Orpheus". Woven around the pursuits of the energetic spirits and erudite scholars of the University of St John and the Holy Ghost, the trilogy lures the reader into a world of mysticism, historical allusion and gothic fantasy. It is densely plotted, highly entertaining and fuses themes of religion, love, art and music in a glorious celebration of humanism. '...the kind of writer who makes you want to nag your friends until they read him so that they share the pleasure' - "Observer".
