Thomas Hardy, OM (2 June 1840 – 11 January 1928) was an English novelist and poet.

About the Author Thomas Hardy was born in 1840 in Dorchester, Dorset. He enrolled as a student in King s College, London, but never felt at ease there, seeing himself as socially inferior. This preoccupation with society, particularly the declining rural society, featured heavily in Hardy s novels, with many of his stories set in the fictional county of Wessex. Since his death in 1928, Hardy has been recognised as a significant poet, influencing The Movement poets in the 1950s and 1960s.

Elsner This little Cinderella tale is one of Hardy's lesser works -- but still quite enjoyable for all that. The milkmaid in question is Margery, a spunky type of heroine not afraid to stand up for herself. One day, wandering through the countryside, she interrupts a mysterious European aristocrat who is about to commit suicide.Margery is engaged to be married to Jim, a likely lad who is part owner of a local lime kiln and offers the prospect of a life of reasonable comfort and security.But her encounter with the Baron throws Margery off the appointed track of her life. The grateful nobleman offers Margery a reward and she says she wants to attend a fancy ball. The Baron makes it happen, supplying her with a gorgeous filmy gown and all the other accoutrements and teaching her how to dance the polka.There is an obvious attraction between the Baron and the milkmaid -- but a huge social gulf divides them. And of course, there is Jim to consider -- a steady, reliable sort who would undoubtedly make Margery a worthy mate.In other Hardy novels, this idea of striving to leave one's social class leads to tragedy. In fact, this is one of Hardy's central themes. Here, he is writing in a lighthearted vein and the tale resolves itself more or less happily. I'll allow the reader to discover how.This is a free download on Kindle and provides a very gentle introduction to the works of Thomas Hardy. For more demanding fare, the reader will have to look to the great novels like "Tess of the D'Urbervilles," "Jude the Obscure," "The Return of the Native" and others.

By Loving G-ma A bit more frothy than Hardy's best works, but he manages to demonstrate that keen perception of the human weaknesses and lapses in judgment that often lead to unfortunate consequences.This tale has some fantasy elements--the mysteriously troubled benefactor and the endlessly patient workman suitor, both capturing the attention of the rather flighty and frivolous heroine.But it all ends rather well for most of the characters, and it's a pleasant diversion for Thomas Hardy fans.

Entertaining, some typos/formatting issues with free Kindle edition By nomdeplume Some of these free Kindle versions have some formatting and typo issues, but overall the text is clean and to boot you get a good piece of fiction for free. As to be expected, Hardy's stories are typically tragic with no exception here. A quick read compared to Jude. I also recommend checking out the short story collection.
