Tempest-Tost is Book 1 of 'The Salterton Trilogy' by Robertson Davies, one of Canada's foremost writers of the 20th century.

"An amateur production of Shakespeare's The Tempest provides a colorful backdrop for a hilarious look at unrequited love. Mathematics teacher Hector Mackilwraith, stirred and troubled by Shakespeare's play, falls in love with the beautiful Griselda Webster. When Griselda shows she has plans of her own, Hector despairs on the play's opening night." 

Written with both warmth and humor, full of Davies' signature observations of the foibles of human nature and trademark compelling plots. Davidson reads in an English accent that subtly underlines the satirical aspects of the story.
