Celebrating the 150th anniversary of the publication of Phineas Finn

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.

But no lesson is truer than that which teaches us to believe that God does temper the wind to the shorn lamb. To how many has it not seemed, at some one period of their lives, that all was over for them ... And yet they have lived to laugh again, to feel that the air was warm and the earth fair, and that God in giving them ever-springing hope has given everything.
