An entertaining book. ( )

"An Unprotected Female at the Pyramids" is a short story that starts off a little bland but improves halfway through. By the end of the tale I felt as though it could've been carried on. The potential is there to extend it.

Mrs Damer is a humourous character because of her constant complaining.

Miss Dawkins - the unprotected female - is travelling without personal companions but latches on to others that she encounters.

This is my first taste of Anthony Trollope's work and I intend to sample one of his novels in the not to distant future. ( )
