About

Allegedly a favourite among his own works, Anthony Trollope's 'Orley Farm' centres around a contested and mysterious will, in which the late Sir Joseph Mason left Orley Farm to Lucius Mason, the son of his younger second wife, Lady Mason. Years later an aggrieved tenant decides to investigate the veracity of the will and persuades Joseph Mason's oldest son to contest the contents of it. Secrets surround the legitimacy of the will, and morals and conscience are called into question in this compelling Trollope epic. It was adapted into radio drama for BBC Radio 4 Extra in 2008, starring Ronald Pickup, Samantha Bond and Dan Stevens.
