The Warden centers on Mr. Harding, a clergyman of great personal integrity who is nevertheless in possession of an income from a charity far in excess of the sum devoted to the purposes of the foundation. On discovering this, young John Bold turns his reforming zeal to exposing what he regards as an abuse of privilege, despite the fact that he is in love with Mr. Harding's daughter Eleanor.

The author brings to life a group of people living in a community; loving and hating each other for various reasons. This story takes place in England in the 1700's but could be happening today. People and personalities are the same and our interest in them and their interactions are the same. We follow the Warden and his daughter living happily in the community until one man raises the question: "Does the Warden deserve to be paid so much to do so little?" And so the whole community is rent by controversary and things will never be the same.
This is the first book in a series about this community.
