Robertson Davies. Penguin Books, $9.95 (384pp) ISBN 978-0-14-012659-4

In this collection of 93 reprinted newspaper and magazine articles, Davies discusses such figures as Chaucer, Jung, Whitman and Wodehouse; reviews books; and describes his own interests: Shakespeare, book collecting and scrapbook keeping. ``Each piece is entertaining and enlightening,'' said PW . ``Regardless of the subject matter . . . Davies has something amusing and original to say.'' (July)
