Phineas Finn - Softcover
ZOUNDS! A DUEL!
"I knew it was a duel; -- bedad I did," said Laurence Fitzgibbon, standing at the corner of Orchard Street and Oxford Street, when Phineas had half told his story. "I was sure of it from the tone of your voice, my boy. We mustn't let it come off, that's all; -- not if we can help it." Then Phineas was allowed to proceed and finish his story. "I don't see any way out of it; I don't, indeed," said Laurence.
Would the maturing young Irishman Phineas Finn marry the very English Lady Laura Standish? Or would he chose to return to Ireland and marry his childhood sweetheart, Mary Jones. And would there be a fox hunt on the way?
The journey to the answers herein is rich with the kind of reading pleasure that only the delightful novels of Anthony Trollope can provide.

About the Author:
Anthony Trollope (1815 - 1882) was an English novelist of the Victorian era. Among his best-known works is a series of novels collectively known as the Chronicles of Barsetshire, which revolves around the imaginary county of Barsetshire. He also wrote novels on political, social and gender issues and other topical matters. Trollope's literary reputation dipped somewhat during the last years of his life but he had regained the esteem of critics by the mid-20th century. Trollope began writing on the numerous long train trips around Ireland he had to take to carry out his postal duties. Setting very firm goals about how much he would write each day, he eventually became one of the most prolific writers of all time. He wrote his earliest novels while working as a Post Office inspector, occasionally dipping into the "lost-letter" box for ideas.
