Christmas at Thompson Hall by Anthony Trollope

Collects the beloved Christmas tales of Anthony Trollope, who was among the most successful, prolific, and respected English novelists in the Victorian era. These stories are still renowned for their insightful, psychologically-rich depictions of the middleclass and gentry of Victorian England, which Trollope occasionally enlivened by peeking into missives in the lost letter' box of the provinical post office he ran.'
