The Golden Lion of Granpre (The World's Classics)

The only paperback edition available, The Golden Lion of Granpere (1867) was written when Trollope was at the height of his popularity. Set in a village in the Vosges mountains in north-eastern France, this short and very entertaining novel concerns the events in the lives of an innkeeper's family; the relationship between George Voss, the landlord's son, and his beloved Marie, the rivalry between Voss and another suitor for Marie's hand in marriage, and the results of a betrothal based on mutual misunderstandings.
