About This Item
This is a first edition (1991) of Murther and Walking Spirits, the second-last novel by the brilliant Canadian novelist Robertson Davies (1913-1995). It is a ghost story; after a film critic is murdered, his ghost attends a strange film festival. While the attendees see actual films, the critic's ghost sees films detailing the lives of his ancestors—one was a Tory during the American Revolution, another who was a carpenter who married a blue-blooded woman. The films deal with more and more recent subjects until the novel is brought to a modern-day conclusion.
This is a perfect copy, with an unclipped dust jacket. The edges of the jacket are starting to darken a little, but there are no marks of any kind in or on the book.
