The Deptford Triology - Robertson Davies
With the Mumsnet
Book Club already thriving, we thought it about time we started reviewing grown up books and for this category we want to know what you think is the best book ever written (plenty of scope there then). At some point when we've reached a critical mass we'll be handing out a dazzling literary award to the winning book (watch out Mr Booker) so please add as many reviews as you like and feel free to comment on other folks' choices. As ever, if you have any suggestions for new categories you'd like to see, please send them over to contactus@mumsnet.com.

"Reading Robertson Davies is like sitting in a plush, wood-panelled library--in a large leather chair with a glass of excellent brandy and a crackling fire--and being captivated with a fabulous tale spun by a wonderful raconteur." This is a quote from Amazon customer reviews, and I've used it as I cannot do better myself. The prose is beautiful, the style amusing, erudite and thoughtful. Another review said it was therapy bound in leather. It is.
