Somewhere sometime I picked up a copy of "The Warden", and finally got 
around to reading it a couple of years ago. That's my only dollop of 
Trollope. A lot of my reading works that way.

Crystal quotes a passage from his autobiography in which he ponders the 
dilemma of wanting to write in a popular, natural sort of English while 
still obeying the rules of grammar. He concludes that (if I may 
paraphrase) you have to practise long and hard in order to be natural.

The autobiography is available online:
