Written by the brother of Anthony Trollope and edited by their mother, Frances (Fanny) Trollope, the celebrated travel writer and author of 'Domestic Manners of the Americans'. This is Thomas Adolphus' first published work and is an account of a trip around Brittany with friends. Thomas' redoubtable mother played an important part in getting the book published. The etchings are by Fanny's long term companion and family friend.
