Mushroom Town

Mushroom Town, written by Oliver Onions in the early 20th century, is set in the fictional Welsh seaside town of Llanyglo, which has rapidly transformed into a tourist destination. The story follows the Garden family, particularly young John Willie, as they navigate the changes in their community and explore their identities amidst the influx of visitors. The novel highlights themes of community, growth, and the contrast between local life and the encroaching unfamiliarity brought by tourism.
