Called ‘;an altogether remarkable creation, his most accomplished novel to date’ (The New York Times), What’s Bred in the Bone is the second brilliant novel in Robertson Davies’ The Cornish Trilogy. Available as an e Book for the first time.Francis Cornish was always good at keeping secrets. From the well-hidden family secret of his childhood to his mysterious encounters with a small-town embalmer, a master art restorer, a Bavarian countess, and various masters of espionage, the events in Francis’s life were not always what they seemed.In this wonderfully ingenious portrait of an art expert and collector of international renown, Robertson Davies has created a spellbinding tale of artistic triumph and heroic deceit. It is a tale told in stylish, elegant prose, endowed with lavish portions of Davies’ wit and wisdom. ‘;Davies’s make-believe universe has the appeal of a mystic’s vision What’s Bred in the Bone is vintage Davies.’ The Globe and Mail
