 Amazon.com: Tempest Tost (Salterton Trilogy): Books
Robertson Davies's "Tempest Tost," first volume of the Salterton trilogy, opens in a deceptively quaint Canadian city, with two cathedrals (one Catholic, one Anglican) and one university.
"Tempest Tost" was Davies' first book, but while it hasn't got the polish his later works have, it's still a solid and smooth read.
There's a sense of the fantastical around "Tempest Tost," even though nothing really fantasy-like happens.

 2001 Reviews: Fanny's First Play + La Ronde + Pericles + Peter Pan + Present Laughter + Tempest-Tost + The Trials of Ezra Pound + The Seagull
These include "The Winter's Tale," "Cymbeline," "The Tempest" and, even less-often produced, "The Two Noble Kinsmen." In the form of old-fashioned adventure tales, all of these deal with the themes of time and fortune and portray the natural cycle of birth, death and rebirth.
On the positive side Rose's foregrounding gives us extended scenes of the cast rehearsing and performing "The Tempest", referred to in the novel but which on stage become the funniest scenes of the play.
For a play like "Pericles," that involves so many sea voyages and where the power of nature is so often embodied in tempests and shipwrecks, this natural setting could not be more perfect.
