Vol. 13 No. 3 of The Storybook Home Journal
Doctor Thorne & Framley Parsonage
What's in this issue?
A Perfect Paradise the Decorating article
Trollope's admiration of Millais as an artist, an illustrator, and a friend never diminished. Both men also respected and looked to their wives' opinions in their work. For Millais (whose wife's nickname was Effie), the result was a profound and wonderful influence upon his painting. While other genre painters were creating canvases busy with such bric-a-brac, Millais' rooms maintained a restrained, thoughtful editing -- celebrating random, intimate Effie Touches that remain instructive today.
A Basket of Eggs the Hearth article
Presents detailed instructions for engaging in the antique art of decalcomania.
My Own Nest the Kitchen article
We have endeavored to give some sense of the delectables that might have been served up in a few of the varied nests scattered throughout the landscape of Doctor Thorne and Framley Parsonage, each home represented by a one-course, wonderfully edible nest of its own--all supremely suited to springtime. Featured recipes: Boxall Hill Roast Fowl and Sausage Nests, Gatherum Castle Butter-Poached Salmon and Sauce, Greshamsbury Strawberry Tart, Cranborne House Pate Choux, Doctor Thorne's Baked Dumplings.
Sweet and Pleasant the Garden article
This installment of The Garden,/i> describes springtime delights of a parsonage garden, including period-perfect perennials that would have bloomed there in Trollope's day. In addition to illustrations that take you back to such gardens, the article steps back in time by quoting liberally from Hardy Perennials and Old-Fashioned Flowers by Victorian British author John Wood.
The Big Stone Steps the Workshop article
Paths in myth and legend are symbolic of the discovery of great eternal verities, but in Trollope's Barsetshire they may only be the means of gathering a crucial bit of gossip or securing an evening's engagement. Illustrations show how to create a simple flagstone path.
Hair, Which Was Copious the Looking Glass article
Presents step-by-step instructions for recreating an authentic Victorian side-braided chignon that might have been worn by a Fanny Robarts or a Mary Thorne.
Living Richly Without Being Rich the Attic article
Entertainments among Victorians included serialized novels and piano and vocal performance.

If you love Jane Austen, read Framley Parsonage. Its principal heroine, Lucy Robarts, is as witty, winning, and utterly lovable as Elizabeth Bennett, and on a scale of one to Mr. Darcy, the male romantic lead, Lord Lufton, rates at least a solid nine.
Set in Trollope's West Barsetshire, this fourth book in the Barsetshire Chronicles is my personal favorite. Readers watch the rise and fall (and rise again) of Framley's young parson, Mark Robarts, and rejoice in the constancy of his beloved wife and best champion, Fanny... Read more »

Though we missed Easter, we were able to get the Doctor Thorne and Framley Parsonage issue of theJournal mailed out—quite fittingly—today on the 198thanniversary of Anthony Trollope's birth. Significant to posting today, as well, is the fact that Trollope is one of the British postal system's most celebrated sons. Split across two professions—postal employee and popular novelist—he managed to leave his mark on Victorian society through both. His most prominent contribution to the post, of course, are the iconic red pillar boxes which gave Victorians their first-ever opportunity to post their letters without having to enter the post office, wait in queues and have postal workers quiz them on their letter's contents—a sure boon to an increase in love letters...

Doctor Thorne, Anthony Trollope's third novel in the Barchester series, is the story of devoted fatherhood. The innovative Greshamsbury physician, Henry Thorne, has always done the right and decent thing since his youth; no more so than when, despite his bachelorhood, he offers to take in the unwanted, illegitimate offspring of his older brother, to raise as his own child. At once, little Mary's hopes are his hopes, her dreams his dreams. Her sorrow is his sorrow, her triumph his own... Read more »
