About the Author:
Anthony Trollope (24 April 1815 – 6 December 1882) was one of the most successful, prolific and respected English novelists of the Victorian era. Among his best-loved works is a series of novels collectively known as the Chronicles of Barsetshire, which revolves around the imaginary county of Barsetshire. He also wrote perceptive novels on political, social, and gender issues, and on other topical matters. Trollope's literary reputation dipped somewhat during the last years of his life, but he regained the esteem of critics by the mid-twentieth century.
From the Back Cover:
This book deals with the problems facing a young sheep-farmer, or 'squatter', in outback Australia. Its hero is modelled on Trollope's younger son Frederic, who had lived in Australia since 1865. Using the conventions of the Christmas story, established by Dickens in the 1840's, the novel shows Harry Heathcote thwarting the envious ex-convict neighbours who harbour his disgruntled former employees, and who attempt to set fire to his pastures.
