description: In Leaven of Malice, the university corridors and newspaper offices of small-town Ontario provide an ideal backdrop for Robertson Davies to exercise his genius for creating memorable characters and comical situations. Winner of the 1954 Leacock Award, the novel combines sustained humour with a more sinister undercurrent, in Davies' seductively elegant prose.
