"Should I have taken the false teeth?" This is what Dr. Jonathan Hullah, a former police surgeon, thinks after he watches Father Hobbes die in front of the High Altar at Toronto's St. Aidan's on the morning of Good Friday. How did the good father die? We do not learn the answer until the very end of this "Case Book" of a man's rich and highly observant life.

But we learn much more about many things, and especially about Dr. Hullah, as the Cunning Man takes us through his own long and ardent life of theatre, art, and music; varied adventures in the Canadian Army during World War II; and the secrets of a doctor's consulting room, his preoccupation is not with sorrow but with the comedic canvas of life.

This is the final Robertson Davies’ novel I have listened to on Audible. I listened to the complete Cornish trilogy, the Deptford trilogy, the Salterton trilogy, and finally Murther and Walking Spirits and the Cunning Man. I have enjoyed Frederick Davidson’s rendering, but have to mention that the quality of this recording is very poor, as well as at least a dozen “edits” — a re-reading of a few sentences/paragraph with different vocal emphasis. This is not a final performance, at best it’s a dress rehearsal. Disappointing to end this way.

Great story, but I’m surprised by the terrible quality of the recording. The narrator’s voice and intonation are vexatious and make it hard to follow along. Worse than that, however, is the poor job of that’s been done of the editing. The volume rises and falls regularly, and the audio is stitched together at random points (i.e. not at the beginning of new chapters), often repeating entire paragraphs. Very unfortunate for such a good book, Robertson Davies last one written.
