Trollope's early schooling was at Harrow and Sunbury. We continue that series with book 6 'The Last Chronicle Of Barset'. He is considered a giant of English literature and perhaps his crowning achievement is the series of books known as The Barchester Chronicles. With a focus on the lives, loves and tribulations of the local clergy and rural gentry, the canvas is broad and colourful, with a wonderful set of iconic characters whose lives we become intimately involved in as they grow up, grow old and fall in or out of love and friendship across the years.Anthony Trollope was born in London on 24th April 1815. The Barchester Chronicles is Anthony Trollope's much-loved series of witty, gently satirical stories of provincial life set within the fictional cathedral town of Barchester and the surrounding county of Barsetshire.

Maggie Steed stars as Mrs Baxter and is joined by Adam Kotz, Tim Pigott-Smith, Samuel Barnett and Scarlett Alice Johnson.
