About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Three Clerks, by Anthony Trollope The Three Clerks was Trollope's sixth novel and was written mostly in railway carriages, since his work for the Post Office still entailed a good deal of travelling; to make life easier for himself, Trollope had devised what he called his 'tablet', a square block which he rested upon his knees in such a way that he could write in complete comfort. The story is drawn from his memories of his work (as a clerk) at the GPO in St Martin-le-Grand, and it is considered the most autobiographical of Trollope's novels - a story of the differing fortunes of 3 young men working at "Weights and Measures" and their relationships with a family of 3 sisters. (Summary by Annise)
