Growing up, Davies was surrounded by language, his father being a newspaper man, and both his parents voracious readers. He, in turn, read everything he could.
While Davies spent his first twenty-three working years at various newspapers in small town Ontario, his first passion was for the theatre, which is where he met and married his wife, Brenda. He was a playwright and director for many years, in England and in Canada.
Davies later became the Master of Massey College at the University of Toronto (1961-1981).
