Under the Greenwood Tree
The Mellstock Quire: A Rural Painting of the Dutch School
Classic Fiction
One of the most popular of Hardy’s novels, this charming pastoral idyll is a lightly humorous depiction of life in an early Victorian rural community. The story delicately balances the concerns of the Mellstock parish choir with a romance between a member of the choir and the village schoolmistress.
