Little Treby

Grayscale illustration of a little town. A man walks with a dog behind a herd of cattle and a wagon.

This is the novel's primary setting, Little Treby. The illustration emphasizes its rural tranquility and traditional way of life. It serves as the backdrop for the unfolding drama, contrasting the quiet rhythms of the village with the political turmoil and social complexities that permeate the larger world of Felix Holt (Chapter 1).
