Présentation de l'éditeur :

The Trumpet-Major is a picturesque tale by Thomas Hardy. The protagonist, Ann Garland who likes men in uniform, is pursued by three suitors in the backdrop of Napoleonic Wars. Harper's New Monthly wrote that its scenes ""abound in the picturesque descriptions of scenery and still-life, and the subtle delineations of widely contrasted character and manner, that are the characteristic charms of his style and methods."
