This is the biography of Anthony Trollope's mother. She was an extraordinary woman and a celebrated writer in her time. Her travel book, Domestic Manners of the Americans, published in 1832, became an overnight bestseller, and she followed it with many other travel books. In all, she wrote 41 books (and that's after she turned fifty!). She was admired by Dickens and feted all over Europe. A most readable biography. With numerous illustrations.
