Robertson Davies is my favourite writer. I'll not pretend to be a fountain of knowledge about him and his works. I haven't read anything but his novels. I would strongly encourage you to start with the Deptford Trilogy. Go ahead... you have been looking for something new to read anyway, right?
Robertson Davies
The Salterton Trilogy
The first novels Davies wrote. They're not usually considered his best work, but still well worth reading.
Tempest-Tost, 1951
Leaven of Malice, 1954
A Mixture of Frailties, 1958
The Deptford Trilogy
Perhaps Davies' finest works, and the best introduction to his fiction.
Fifth Business, 1970
The Manticore, 1972
World of Wonders, 1975
The Cornish Trilogy
The Rebel Angels, 1981
What's Bred In The Bone, 1985
The Lyre of Orpheus, 1988
The Toronto Books
This series would have become another trilogy, but was interrupted by Davies' death just as he was beginning to plan the third novel.
Murther and Walking Spirits, 1991.
The Cunning Man, 1995.
