The Diary of Samuel Marchbanks

The Diary of Samuel Marchbanks, published by Clarke, Irwin in 1947,[1] is the first of the Samuel Marchbanks books by Canadian novelist and journalist Robertson Davies.

Davies created the Samuel Marchbanks character while editor of the Peterborough Examiner newspaper in the small city of Peterborough, Ontario, northeast of Toronto.

The Diary of Samuel Marchbanks presents a year's worth of Marchbanks' columns in a diary format.

For this book Davies chose the best columns from 1945 and 1946 and added a few new pieces.
