I love Trollope. He is not my favourite author, far from it; but love is love. His style may appear pedestrian or grandfatherly at times, but if we make a few allowances, Trollope's writing is precise and honest, his observations sharp.
In my younger years I made sure to read _all_ of his many novels, major or minor. His two great cycles (Barsetshire, Palliser) in my view are great literature, if perhaps in disguise.
I feel especially close to The Warden. My father in retirement did a lot of voluntary work on various charity boards. In one instance, some mismanagement took place under his watch, unknown to him. The public attacks disoriented my father just as Septimus Harding is disoriented under John Bold's campaign. It happens to many: that we outlive our time.
The Warden must also be one of the shortest Trollope books, not as fat as most, hence I often give it as gift to friends who want to get to know Trollope.
