The story of John Lightfoot #Trollope is one of determination, skill, and extraordinary courage in the #skies of the #WWI. In March 1918, he achieved a remarkable feat — becoming the #first #British #pilot to shoot down seven enemy #aircraft in a single day, securing his place in #aviation #history.

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.
So, so tired! Finally, putting my feet up! With tea & Trollope's The Small House at Allington. I'm at 60% of the book and I really don't know where he's going! And it's not like him, is it? I mean, he usually gives one some kind of assurance!

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

To promote justice for the people?
These people are actors, and it's dangerous, #democrats #GOP he knows she's not there to promote justice for even God never mid the people, she's a Trump #trollope he knows that .
None of them is '' a friend'' they're all trying to pay their bills, no saints here.
“But in the tradition of #Trollope and #Balzac, the files illuminate, in indelible detail, the ways in which Epstein’s money and connections appeared to count for more than his well-earned reputation as a sexual predator and procurer.” www.newyorker.com/news/the-fin...
Reading #Trollope (Anthony), surprised to find the Western cliche '[town] isn't big enough for the two of us' getting an early outing - in 1870
Trollope’s Doctor Thorne and a cup of coffee on a black and white table
So far #DoctorThorne is not as delightful, hilarious and all-around brilliant as the previous Barsetshire volumes by #Trollope – though the cover (a William Morris wallpaper design) is exquisite. Thoughts, @nonsuchbook.bsky.social?

Lizzie Eustace is kind of a dumb bitch, but she's MY dumb bitch. #Trollope
Negative of a photo giving a clue to our new podcast on Colonel Sibthorpe's elms and the Crystal Place--a very modern controversy!
Queen Street in Auckland, in the late Victorian period--a bustling thoroughfare looking rather like Leeds!
#October is slipping away: do have a look at our "What's New" for the month, before that too slips away. We have a new podcast (yes!), four new book reviews, & new artwork of all kinds. You can take a trip to Victorian New Zealand with Anthony #Trollope, too! www.victorianweb.org/misc/whatsne...
Anthony Trollope’s Barchester Towers and a cup of coffee on a wood counter
I loved The Warden and it turns out that #BarchesterTowers is even funnier, more insightful and all around brilliant. I hope Doctor Thorne, the following vol. in the #ChroniclesofBarsetshire, is as good.

Cruelty, feminism and power: “Lady Anna” is typical of forgotten 19th Century literature. Despite its unappealing title, it in fact shows how the struggle for #feminism, #power and women’s rights is eternal. buff.ly/7qc1TNF#women #books #literature #trollope
The book The small house at Allington by Anthony Trollope on top of a wood table in front of other spines os Trollope's books
We went to vote and now I'm getting some "me time" to start this one (loving the series)

#Trollope (Thomas Adolphus) I highly recommend. Lots of intriguing detail!

“ #Trollope does talk to you all the time, which I like. Maybe some people don’t like it, but he’s got a wonderful narrative voice. It’s very friendly and it’s very compact. He’s like a companion. I was feeling that I was going to miss hanging out with him.” fivebooks.com/best-books/a... #books
A bookish interlude!
