The Golden Lion of Granpere - Brossura

The only paperback edition available, The Golden Lion of Granpere (1867) was written when Trollope was at the height of his popularity. Set in a village in the Vosges mountains in north-eastern France, this short and very entertaining novel concerns the events in the lives of an innkeeper's family; the relationship between George Voss, the landlord's son, and his beloved Marie, the rivalry between Voss and another suitor for Marie's hand in marriage, and the results of a betrothal based on mutual misunderstandings.
