The Small House At Allington is a novel written by the renowned British author, Anthony Trollope. The book is set in the fictional English county of Barsetshire and is the fifth novel in Trollope's Chronicles of Barsetshire series. The story revolves around the lives of the residents of the Allington estate, which comprises of two houses - the grand Allington House and the smaller, titular Small House. The main character is Lily Dale, a young woman who lives in the Small House with her widowed mother and sister. Lily is courted by two men - the handsome and wealthy Adolphus Crosbie, and the kind and loyal Johnny Eames. Crosbie is initially the favorite, but his true nature is revealed when he abruptly breaks off his engagement to Lily and marries a wealthy woman instead. Meanwhile, Johnny Eames continues to love Lily from afar, but struggles to express his feelings. The novel also delves into the lives of other characters on the estate, including the haughty Lady de Courcy, her son and heir Lord Porlock, and the kindly Squire Dale. The Small House At Allington is a classic Victorian novel that explores themes of love, class, and social status. Trollope's writing is known for its realism and attention to detail, and this novel is no exception. It is a must-read for fans of classic literature and those interested in Victorian society.Such young men are often awkward, ungainly, and not yet formed in their gait; they straggle with their limbs, and are shy; words do not come to them with ease, when words are required, among any but their accustomed associates. Social meetings are periods of penance to them, and any appearance in public will unnerve them. They go much about alone, and blush when women speak to them. In truth, they are not as yet men, whatever the number may be of their years; and, as they are no longer boys, the world has found for them the ungraceful name of hobbledehoy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
