—The Wall Street Journal
"Mr. Davies proves himself an alchemist throughout, creating not only magic and mystery but vivid storytelling."

"An intriguing, amusing, exciting book . . . Davies has the praiseworthy ability of putting his characters in full, three-dimensional reality and presents them in backgrounds just as exactingly filled in, flesh and blood folks enlivening individual and unique surroundings."
—The Houston Post
"An immense entertainment . . . Irreverent, witty, punful"
—The Boston Sunday Globe
"Davies is a compellingly inventive storyteller. . . . The Rebel Angels is full of the splendid ironies and fateful turns, as well as the fascinating characters, one expects from Davies."
—Chicago Tribune
"Intellectual . . . Riotously funny . . . Peopled by a rich, full-blooded cast. Throughout, it contains wonderful, tantalizing hints that Robertson Davies really knows the Secret of It All."
