The fifth novel in The Chronicles of Barsetshire, The Small House at Allington concerns the lives of the two Dale girls, Lily and Bell, who live at the Small House. While Bell is in love with the local doctor, James Crofts, Lily is pursued by two men: the worldly, rich and handsome Adolphus Crosbie and the poor but honest Johnny Eames. With each determined to gain her hand in marriage, who will she choose? Enshrined as a literary classic, The Small House at Allington takes the reader on a delightful visit to rural England, and presents an insightful, compassionate and amusing examination of human nature, along with Trollope’s signature flashes of genius. David Shaw-Parker trained at RADA and began his career with the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1977. He has recorded extensively for BBC Radio and his recordings for Naxos AudioBooks include The Great Poets: John Clare, The Pilgrim’s Progress and The Chronicles of Barsetshire.
