Fanny Trollope

As soon as I had finished Dervla Murphy and her travel in Laos I started the biography about Fanny Trollope by Teresa Ranson.

Fanny Trollope didn't start her career as a writer untill she had passed her 50th year. She had spent a couple of years in USA then, with three of her children, hoping that life there would be cheeper than back home in England where her husband and oldest sons still lived.

Life never became what Fanny Trolloped hoped, but her experiences gave her more than enough stuff to write more than 50 books. Her novels and travel books became immensely popular.

I have read many of her son Anthony Trollope's books, now I want to look for Fanny's.
