About this ebook
Published anonymously in 1872, this is Hardy's second novel – the last to appear without his name and the first to feature his invented county of Wessex. It is a comic, somewhat idyllic precursor to his later tragedies, focusing on the activities of the Mellstock parish choir and a romance between Dick Dewy and the new schoolmistress, Fancy Day.

Author
Thomas Hardy
Thomas Hardy was born in 1840 in Dorchester, Dorset. He enrolled as a student in King’s College, London, but never felt at ease there, seeing himself as socially inferior. This preoccupation with society, particularly the declining rural society, featured heavily in Hardy’s novels, with many of his stories set in the fictional county of Wessex. Since his death in 1928, Hardy has been recognised as a significant poet, influencing The Movement poets in the 1950s and 1960s.
