The Trumpet-Major is the seventh published novel by English author Thomas Hardy published in 1880, and his only historical novel.

When Anne Garland wakes up one morning, she little realises the significance of the sight from her window; of soldiers setting up camp for the summer on the hills overlooking her quiet village of Overcombe.

But she soon finds herself pursued romantically by three men: Trumpet Major John Loveday, his brother Bob and the boorish Squire's nephew and yeoman; Festus Derrimen, as the Napoleonic war roils over the continent. All three compete off and on for her affections, but who will finally win her hand?

Narrated by Michael Ward.
