(Arthur Thomas) Quiller-Couch, Arthur Thomas The Mayor of Troy E-text prepared by Lionel Sear "The Mayor of Troy" by Arthur Quiller-Couch is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book explores the life and antics of Solomon Hymen, a beloved and charismatic mayor of the fictional town of Troy, Cornwall, during the early 19th century, particularly against the backdrop of impending conflict with France. The narrative presents a humorous and whimsical account of civic life, infused with local color and the eccentricities of the townspeople. The opening of the novel introduces readers to the Mayor of Troy, Solomon Hymen, and sets the stage for the story by delving into the town's historical significance and the loss of its former borough records. Through the Mayor's reflections, we quickly learn about the town's characters, including the humorous rivalry with the Mayor of nearby Lestiddle and the community's deep-rooted spirit. The narrative hints at the tense atmosphere in Troy as the threat of a French invasion looms, and the Mayor takes charge, rallying the townsfolk for both civic duty and light-hearted military endeavors, establishing a lively setting that promises both comedic and heartfelt moments ahead.
