Anthony Trollope was one of the most successful, prolific and respected novelists of the Victorian era.

His perceptive novels remain relevant today, and his reputation continues to grow with each passing year. In 2015 we celebrated the bicentenary of his birth on 24th April, 1815.

The hold of a child upon the father is so much stronger than that of the father on the child! Our eyes are set in our face, and are always turned forward. The glances that we cast back are but occasional.
