About This Item
A tight and bright copy-In 1942, two years after returning to Canada from Britain, Robertson Davies took up the role of editor of the Peterborough Examiner. During his tenure as editor at the Examiner, a post he held until 1955, and later as the publisher of the newspaper (1955-65), Davies published witty, curmudgeonly, mischievous, and fiercely individualistic editorials under the name of his alter ego, Samuel Marchbanks, one of the choice and master spirits of his age. The Diary of Samuel Marchbanks is funny, delightful, and timeless in revealing one of the most entertaining periods in a Canadian literary giant's career. -This is the second issue of the first edition with- "Warning to the Reader". Decorations by Claire Stewart. Ex-library with typical markings- Spine is faded- Binding intact with sewn binding-No DJ.
