Robertson Davies, seen in a 1992 file photo, widely recognized as one of Canada's most accomplished authors, died Saturday night Dec. 2, 1995 in a hospital in Orangeville, 50 miles northwest of Toronto, after suffering a stroke, said his secretary Moira Whalon. He was 82. Davies, also a playwright, actor and critic, was mentioned as a possible winner of the 1993 Nobel Prize in literature, which was won by American novelist and essayist Toni Morrison. Davies' best-known works are two trilogies ``Fifth Business'' (1970), ``The Manticore'' (1972) and ``World of Wonders'' (1975) centered on the fictional Ontario town of Deptford. ``The Manticore'' won the 1973 Governor General's award for fiction.
