Mushroom Town reveals a powerful writer at the height of his skills. The setting of Mushroom Town is the tiny fictional hamlet Llanyglo, Wales. Llanyglo is little more than a few merchant shops, three tiny churches and some scattered dry-scrabble farms. But the tiny town has an ideal location next to the ocean, and potentially a terrific beach for water recreation of all kinds. Llanyglo catches the attention of Edward Garden, a shrewd, well-to-do English businessman. He initially brings his family to spend two weeks in a seaside cabin to bolster the failing health of his 9-year-old daughter. However, Mr. Garden has inside information about a new rail line that will soon be laid down and pass very near the hamlet, which means that this once remote, region will suddenly have easy access to the bigger cities such as Manchester and Liverpool. Mr. Garden recognizes the potential to transform tiny Llanyglo into a resort town.
