A classic of Victorian literature,and one of the earliest books written specifically for boys,Tom Brown's Schooldays has long had an influence well beyond the middle-class,public school world that it describes. An active social reformer,Hughes wrote with a freshness,a lack of cant,and a kind,relaxed tolerance which keeps this novel refreshingly distinct from other schoolboy adventures.
This edition is the only one available,and comes with the outstanding 1869 illustrations by Arthur Hughes.
