Summary
Young Tom Brown comes of age in Thomas Hughes' classic story Tom Brown's School Days. Sent to a new private school part-way through the year, Tom Brown must navigate the complicated world of private-school pranks and alliances, and find a way to defeat the school bully, Harry Flashman. A Victorian "school story," Tom Brown's School Days was highly influential on the genre, inspiring a number of adaptations including a 2005 television movie starring Steven Fry, and the popular Flashman adventures by Scottish author George MacDonald Fraser, which follow the bully from Tom Brown, Harry Flashman, into adulthood
