The Trumpet-Major

With an Introduction and Notes by Charles P.C. Pettit.

Thomas Hardy's only historical novel, The Trumpet Major is set in Wessex during the Napoleonic Wars. Hardy skilfully immerses us in the life of the day, making us feel the impact of historical events on the immemorial local way of life - the glamour of the coming of George III and his soldiery, fears of the press-gang and invasion, and the effect of distant but momentous events like the Battle of Trafalgar.

He interweaves a compelling, bitter-sweet romantic love story of the rivalry of two brothers for the hand of the heroine Anne Garland, played out against the loves of a lively gallery of other characters. While there are elements of sadness and even tragedy, The Trumpet-Major shows Hardy's skills of story-telling, characterisation and description in a novel of vitality, comedy and warmth.

Samsonite? I was way off!
Size: 8, Color: Light Blue, Size: 8, Color: Light Blue
Linen was a nice enough material and slightly distracted from the dumb&dumber blue motif. The regular suit material would have been a full homage. It is what he wanted so this was a fair compromise. Stats/ he is a size 8 in most brands, 51in and 60lbs. Purchased an 8. A size 7 would have been a better choice and more tailored look but this fit fine in the important places and he has room to grow. Short notice, quick shipping and fair quality for the price. May your Harry Dunne love it as much as mine did.
