Christmas at Thompson Hall: A Mid-Victorian Christmas Tale

Mr and Mrs Brown are keen to make it to Thompson Hall for a cosy family Christmas – the first they will be spending in England instead of France for several years. When Mr Brown is taken ill in Paris en route home, it seems their Christmas wishes may not be coming true. 'Christmas at Thompson Hall' is a festive short story full of humorous mishaps from the much-loved Victorian author, Anthony Trollope. -
