Hailed by the Washington Post Book World as ?a modern classic,? Robertson Davies?s acclaimed Deptford Trilogy is a glittering, fantastical, cunningly contrived series of novels, around which a mysterious death is woven. World of Wonders ? the third book in the series after The Manticore ? follows the story of Magnus Eisengrim ? the most illustrious magician of his age ? who is spirited away from his home by a member of a traveling sideshow, the Wanless World of Wonders. After honing his skills and becoming better known, Magnus unfurls his life?s courageous and adventurous tale in this third and final volume of a spectacular, soaring work.
