Tom Brown's Schooldays

Paperback (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform Nov. 22, 2015)
In Thomas Hughes’ classic schoolboy novel, the reader follows the adventures of Tom Brown as he leaves his home in the Vale of the White Horse, Berkshire, and begins life at Rugby School in the 1830s. Tom’s school career at Rugby starts well, but he begins to lose his way, finding himself in many scrapes and difficulties with Flashman - the school bully, the masters, other boys, as well as local land-owners. Finally he appears before the Headmaster, Dr. Arnold, the man whom Tom fears more than anyone. Will the Doctor need to remove Tom from the school, or can he find a way to arrest Tom’s downward spiral of behaviour? The reader follows the action, and in the end Tom does have to leave Rugby, however not as a young, thoughtless boy, but as a strong, courageous and thoughtful man who has learned from the Doctor that there is an even greater Master yet. This Cameron Collectible volume is a full-length, unabridged edition, and includes a preface written by Thomas Hughes that is omitted by many other publishers. It is available only as a printed volume, (i.e. unavailable on kindle) and restricted to 2,000 copies worldwide.
