The Warden by Anthony Trollope immerses you in a richly crafted world filled with intrigue and moral dilemmas. As the inaugural book in the renowned Chronicles of Barsetshire series, it lays the groundwork for an enthralling exploration of Victorian England.

This engaging narrative follows Septimus Harding, whose tranquil existence as the warden of an almshouse is shattered by reformers and sensationalist press. Trollope’s sharp wit and keen social commentary create a vibrant tapestry that delves into the conflict between personal integrity and societal ambition.

Key Features:

  • Engaging storytelling: Trollope's narrative style captivates readers from the first page to the last.
  • Rich character development: Each character is vividly realized, fostering a deep connection with their stories.
  • Insightful social commentary: A reflection on the societal challenges of Victorian England, resonating even today.

In The Warden, readers are whisked away to the idyllic yet complex cathedral town of Barsetshire, where a diverse cast of characters enlivens the community. Trollope’s masterful portrayal of its inhabitants not only captures the essence of the era but also explores enduring themes of conscience and morality.

Now part of The Penguin English Library, this edition celebrates 100 of the most significant works of English fiction, showcasing literature that has shaped our understanding of storytelling from the 18th century to the eve of the First World War.

We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
