About this ebook
A young giant of a man comes home from Australia to an English estate he has inherited, with a brother in tow and a family disgrace behind him — and the county has already decided what to think. Yonge lived her whole life in one Hampshire village and taught Sunday school there for seventy-one years; the Hercules of the title does his labors in a country parish, and the joke is entirely deliberate. Fifty-seven plates after Corot, Roberts and others follow the story's course from country house and park to château, chapel and ball, the settings of an old-world tale.
