The Trumpet-Major

With an Introduction and Notes by Charles P.C. Pettit.

Thomas Hardy's only historical novel, The Trumpet Major is set in Wessex during the Napoleonic Wars. Hardy skilfully immerses us in the life of the day, making us feel the impact of historical events on the immemorial local way of life - the glamour of the coming of George III and his soldiery, fears of the press-gang and invasion, and the effect of distant but momentous events like the Battle of Trafalgar.

He interweaves a compelling, bitter-sweet romantic love story of the rivalry of two brothers for the hand of the heroine Anne Garland, played out against the loves of a lively gallery of other characters. While there are elements of sadness and even tragedy, The Trumpet-Major shows Hardy's skills of story-telling, characterisation and description in a novel of vitality, comedy and warmth.

Perfect shelf for the office
Size: 24 Inch, Color: Rustic Brown, Size: 24 Inch, Color: Rustic Brown
When we bought our house it came with an office space and this little wall space in between the cabinets lol. We had no idea what to do with it BUT our monitors took up so much room that we couldn't put anything on the desk really. Then we got the idea of a floating shelf and well this was perfect! Matches and really looks like it came with the house haha. It has held up and now I get my office supplies and can look at pics!

Sturdy piece
Size: 24 Inch, Color: Retro Grey Oak-light
Easy to put together. I bought to use as a spice rack in a small kitchen. It's a heavy piece. Can hold quite a lot.

Beautiful Shelves.
Color: Brown, Size: 3Tier48in, Color: Brown, Size: 3Tier48in
Did not come with instructions but easy to assemble once you start putting together. Very sturdy and well made, real wood shelves, not too heavy but can definitely hold a decent amount of weight. The shelves themselves are rough (could have been sanded better) but where it’s for decor and not every day use, no one would ever know. I love it.
