Product Information

'Davies' books will be recognized with the very best works of the twentieth century' New York Times Book Review THE DEPTFORD TRILOGY FIFTH BUSINESS - THE MANTICORE WORLD OF WONDERS At two minutes to six on December 27th 1908 the lives of three people become inextricably bound together by the trajectory of a snowball. There is ten-year old Dunstable Ramsay, intended victim of the snowball, who, fatefully, ducks; his 'lifelong friend and enemy' Percy Boyd Staunton, angered by their recent quarrel, who hurls the snowball; and Paul Dempster, prematurely born when his pregnant mother is struck by Percy's icy missile. Tracing the rich and varied lives of these three individuals, The Deptford Trilogy lures the reader down labyrinthine tunnels of myth, history and magic in one of the most beguiling, clever and cunning trilogies ever written. 'Thick and rich with humour, character and incident' Observer 'A mature and wise writer' Anthony Burgess 'One of the great modern novelists' Malcolm Bradbury
