Alongside his literary career, Trollope also worked for some time for the Post Office and is credited with the introduction of the iconic post box to Britain. The Chronicles of Barsetshire are perhaps his most well-known series of novels, though many of his works have been adapted for TV and radio, starring many familiar faces such as Alan Rickman, David Tennant, Bill Nighy and Tom Hollander. His first successful novel was The Warden followed by its sequel, Barchester Towers. The amount of works Trollope authored are testament to his belief in hard work.

He also wrote an autobiography, short stories and plays, travel articles, reviews and lectures.
