The Small House At Allington (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162708522)

The Small House At Allington is a novel written by Anthony Trollope, first published in 1864. It is the fifth book in the Chronicles of Barsetshire series, but can be read as a standalone novel. The story revolves around the Dale family and their neighbors in the small village of Allington. The main character, Lily Dale, is a young woman who lives with her widowed mother and sister, Bell. She is courted by two men, Johnny Eames and Adolphus Crosbie, but must choose between them. Meanwhile, her sister falls in love with a man who is already engaged to another woman. The novel explores themes of love, marriage, and social class in Victorian England. Trollope's writing is known for its realism and attention to detail, making The Small House At Allington a compelling and engaging read.Such young men are often awkward, ungainly, and not yet formed in their gait; they straggle with their limbs, and are shy; words do not come to them with ease, when words are required, among any but their accustomed associates. Social meetings are periods of penance to them, and any appearance in public will unnerve them. They go much about alone, and blush when women speak to them. In truth, they are not as yet men, whatever the number may be of their years; and, as they are no longer boys, the world has found for them the ungraceful name of hobbledehoy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
