An old table with several books related to Trollope, a cup of chamomile tea, an reader in front of a window with a curtain that lets pass the late afternoon sun.

For anyone interested in The Brontës, heartily recommend the website www.annebronte.org Has been running for over ten years now and a welcome resource
#victorianliterature, #theBrontës, #AnneBrontë,

The book The Small House at Allington opened with the Companion to Trollope by Richard Mullen with James Munson over stretched legs covered by a wool blanket

The same books showing the detail on top of the Companion where we can see a faded stamp of penguins

This companion has been invaluable during my reading of the the Chronicles of Barsetshire
