Orley Farm

Orley Farm is a novel written in the realist mode by Anthony Trollope , and illustrated by the Pre-Raphaelite artist John Everett Millais . It was first published in monthly shilling parts by the London publisher Chapman and Hall. Although this novel appeared to have undersold , Orley Farm became Trollope's personal favourite. George Orwell said the book contained "one of the most brilliant descriptions of a lawsuit in English fiction."The house in the book was based on a farm in Harrow once owned by the Trollope family. The real-life farm became a school, which was originally supposed to be the feeder school to Harrow School. It was renamed Orley Farm School after the novel, with Trollope's permission.
