{"product_id":"the-warden-anthony-trollope-9780099528654","title":"The Warden","description":"\u003cb\u003eThe first book in Anthony Trollope's funny, warm, well-loved Barchester Chronicles--perfect for Austen fans\u003c\/b\u003e The tranquil atmosphere of the cathedral town of Barchester is shattered when a scandal breaks concerning the financial affairs of a church-run almshouse for elderly men. In the ensuing furor, Septimus Harding, the almshouse's well-meaning warden, finds himself pitted against his daughter's suitor Dr. John Bold, a zealous local reformer. Matters are not improved when Harding's abrasive son-in-law, Archdeacon Grantly, leaps into the fray to defend him against a campaign Bold begins in the national press. An affectionate and wittily satirical view of the workings of the Church of England, this novel is also a subtle exploration of the rights and wrongs of moral crusades and, in its account of Harding's intensely felt personal drama, a moving depiction of the private impact of public affairs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anthony Trollope\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0099528657\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780099528654\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Anthony Trollope","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48453292687615,"sku":"9780099528654","price":11.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_64d1288a-ed95-4717-afb3-214919616b76.jpg?v=1777299379","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-warden-anthony-trollope-9780099528654","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
