Hi David!
Actually, A MIXTURE OF FRAILTIES is the final novel in The Salterton Trilogy.
Written during the 1950s and set in a fictional yet somehow typical small
Ontario city, it was the first Davies trilogy. The other novels are Tempest-Tost
and Leaven of Malice.
Mixture of Frailties was the first Robertson Davies novel I ever read: have
re-read it several times since and loved it, but will always remember the
delight and surprise I felt that first time. Needless to say, it's a favorite
among my opera singer friends!!
best,
Roberto
