Description

The fruits of an eighteen-year tradition of Massey College's annual Gaudy Nights, Robertson Davies' High Spirits still delights and amuses to this day. Published as an eBook for the first time.

In the Introduction to this collection of charming stories, Robertson Davies notes we all need ';ghosts as a dietary supplement . . . to stave off that most dreadful of modern ailments, the Rational Rickets.'

In one tale, Mr. Davies introduces the ghost of Henrik Ibsen; in another, he brings us face to face with a bust of Charles Dickens, whose ';scarlet lips . . . parted in a terrible smile' and whose ';beard stirred in a hiccup of repletion.'

Sixteen other apparitions manifest themselves, each rendered with Robertson Davies' special toucha bit of parody, a touch of true scarinessand all emanating from high spirits.
