BAJO LA VERDE FRONDA (HARDY, THOMAS)
Los músicos de la parroquia de Mellstock, orgullosos de su arte, ven peligrar su continuidad cuando el nuevo párroco compra un órgano para la iglesia que supone reemplazarlos. Las razones del párroco para esta novedad no son solamente musicales: la oportunidad de tener cerca a la que será la joven organista, Fancy Day, ha pesado en su decisión. Pero a la señorita Day la rondan otros dos pretendientes, el hacendado Shiner y el joven Dick Dewy, hijo del buhonero. Bajo la verde fronda (1872), segunda novela de Thomas Hardy, cuenta con un narrador simpático y cordial que parece que comparte escena con los personajes.
