Happy Birthday, Anthony Trollope! It’s Weekend, Let’s Read! & A New Series by Katie Lumsden
Anthony Trollope was born on this day in 1815. I’ve only read five novels and a short story collection. I’m on the fifth volume of Chronicles of Barsetshire and I’m loving it so much that my recommendation for this weekend goes for the first volume in the series.
The Warden – Read or download at Project Gutenberg, if you have a Kobo, I recommend the Standard Ebooks version. Librivox also has three versions in audiobook, if you prefer. It’s the smallest of the series and maybe not the most loved, but I do recommend starting with it.
If you like satirical dystopian, you can go for The Fixed Period, that I recommended before.
Katie Lumsden is making a new series about Trollope, after reading all the 47 novels and the first episode (10 Reasons to Read Anthony Trollope) is out now on her YouTube channel. I watched it yesterday and it was a delight. And although I didn’t read much Trollope yet, I can relate with all these reasons (just from the Barsetshire Chronicles).

It’s Weekend, Let’s Read: Anthony Trollope’s Christmas Stories #PublicDomain #Books
You know I have been reading the Barset Novels (loving them) and I have also read recently The Fixed Period (loved it), so my recommendation for this weekend is again works by Anthony Trollope that I intend to read and you can also read right here, right now.
According with the The Trollope Society, Anthony Trollope has eight stories related to Christmas and I’m making a list here and try to find them online so you can also read them.
- Catherine Carmichael; Or Three Years Running
I only found this story in a pdf format which is not very good to read on a mobile or ereader so last year I transformed the pdf into an epub, corrected the typos, and made it available here, where you can read it on the browser or choose to download the epub format.
- Christmas At Thompson Hall
- Christmas Day At Kirkby Cottage
- The Mistletoe Bough
- The Two Generals
- The Two Heroines of Plumplington
- The Widow’s Mite
These six works can be found at Standard Ebooks. You can download the whole ebook here or go through the table of contents and choose the stories you want to read directly on the browser. The only story that is not a short story is The Two Heroines… that has around 100 pages
- Not if I Know it
I couldn’t find this short available online without restrictions, I will be continuing my search and update this post accordingly. If you know where we can find it online and accessible by anyone, do add it in the comments. Trollope’s works are in public domain.
The book in the photo does not have three of the stories: Catherine Carmichael; The Two Heroines of Plumplington; The Widow’s Mite.

You couldn't make it up, part #3446.
Anglican bishop kicks cheerful choir out of "his" church, even though they had booked it and had performed there for years. He did so in bare feet, wearing a dressing gown.
"You are in my house", the pompous bishop said. (Jesus would disagree on the ownership attribution.)
Priceless. Anthony Trollope could not invent a better plot.
