One of five beloved Christmas classics
Christmas at Thompson Hall brings together the best of the Christmas stories of
Anthony Trollope, one of the most successful, prolific, and respected English
novelists of the nineteenth century. Characterized by insightful,
psychologically rich, and sometimes wryly humorous depictions of the middle
class and gentry of Victorian England-and inspired occasionally by missives in
the "lost letter" box of the provincial post office that Trollope ran-these
tales helped to enshrine the traditions of the decorated Christmas tree, the
holiday turkey, and the giving of store-bought gifts. Today, they open a window
onto a time when carolers filled the streets and each house's door displayed a
wreath of evergreen boughs, a time at once distant and yet startlingly familiar.
