"The Manticore" is the second novel in Robertson Davies' Deptford Trilogy.

Published in 1972 by Macmillan of Canada, it deals with the aftermath of the mysterious death of Percy Boyd "Boy" Staunton retold during a series of conversations between Staunton's son and a Jungian psychoanalyst.

The title refers to elements of the subconscious which unfold through the story and are eventually manifested as a fantastic mythical creature: a manticore.

"The Manticore" won the Governor-General's Literary Award in the English language fiction category in 1972. Many believe that this selection was due in part to the fact that Davies did not win in 1970 for his novel "Fifth Business".
