Tom Brown’s Schooldays by Thomas Hughes (Abridged version)
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 (in Tom Jones) and Alec Waugh (in The Loom of Youth).
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 departure for a wider world as a confident young man. This classic tale of a boy’s schooldays under the benevolent eye of the renowned Dr. Arnold still retains its appeal.
