Sobre este artículo
Toronto: Hunter, Rose & Co., 1872. First Canadian edition, published same year as first English & American editions. Leather Bound. Good+. 177 p. 17 cm. Half leather with black cloth. Rebacked.

A prolific writer of novels dealing with everyday 19th-century life, Trollope wrote "The Golden Lion of Granpere" at the height of his popularity. Set in a village in the Vosges mountains in northeastern France, this short novel concerns Marie Bromar who, following the death of her mother, goes to live with the Voss family at the Lion d'Or hotel. Over a period of several years she and George Voss fall in love, but George's father Michel forbids them to marry. A typical Trollope mess which, in the end, only a comic picnic can sort out.

Sinopsis
Up among the Vosges mountains in Lorraine, but just outside the old half-de province of Alsace, about thirty miles distant from the new and thoroughly fr baths of Plombieres, there lies the village of Granpere. Whatever may be said or thought here in England of the late imperial rule in France, it must at any rate be admitted that good roads were made under the Empire. Alsace, which twenty years ago seems to have been somewhat behindhand in this respect, received her full share of Napoleon's attention, and Granpere is now placed on an excellent road which runs from the town of Remiremont on one line of railway, to Colmar on another.
