This is probably hopeless, but it is puzzling to me that there are several studies and biographies of Robertson Davies in electronic form -- but none of his own books. You could call Davies the Canuck Magical Realist. Starting with the Fifth Business, all his novels were fascinating (he wasn't much into the shorter form, though there was a collection of ghost stories). I can understand the absence of many writers from electronic publications as their works may have gone out of fashion faster than they went out of copyright. But Davies was popular right to the end, which wasn't so long ago (his last book appeared in 1994, and he died the following year). And virtually everything he wrote appears to be in dead-tree print.

I've queried the agent about reprinting High Spirits, by Robertson Davies. That one would be a good fit for us.

I find with considerable surprise that Davies's more interesting works are all available electronically in Canada, but not yet (legitimately) in the U.S. Publisher is New Canadian Library, an imprint of Penguin/Random House.

The agent never replied to my query. I guess they're not interested.
