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.

December book club theme: 🎄 holiday 🎄 - December 13, 2025 - This is a fun, lighthearted, Christmas themed murder mystery. The characters are funny and relatable. Parts of the plot are fairly predictable, but the characters are so humorous and endearing that it makes up for it. A joy to read.

If you love the childhood friends to lovers trope, you’ll love this. Seeing the MMC and FMC grow up, him fall first, how he’s always really loved her, and seeing their development from friends to lovers was really heart warming. I loved that a book this short was able to make me feel something. ♥ Highly recommend!
