The Chronicles of Barsetshire audiobooks in order

Cathedral politics in an invented English county, and much funnier than that makes it sound. Trollope is interested in ambitious clergymen, and in what people talk themselves into.

Which order should you listen in?

Publication order. The Warden is short and works as a test drive — at under seven hours it is a fraction of the length of the ones that follow, so it costs very little to find out whether you like him.
