Tom Brown s Schooldays

Lively and mischievous, idle and brave, Tom Brown is both the typical boy of his time and the perennial hero celebrated by authors as diverse as Henry Fielding and Alec Waugh.
The book describes Tom's time at Rugby School from his first football match, through his troubled adolescence when he is savagely bullied by the unspeakable Flashman, to his growing maturity as a young man.
This classic tale of a boy's schooldays under the benevolent eye of the renowned Dr. Arnold has been through hundreds of printings, and retains the appeal for which it was acclaimed on first publication in 1857.
