Hardcover. Condition: Good. Illustrated Edition. Thomas Hughes wrote "School Days at Rugby" (by an Old Boy) in 1857. It was immediately popular, spawning in its wake an entire genre of English Boarding School novels. The novel is more widely known as "Tom Brown's School Days". Hughes wrote a sequel titled "Tom Brown at Oxford".…The story is in large part based on Hughes's own recollections of Rugby, and the character of Tom Brown is thought to be based on Hughes's own brother, George Hughes. As with so many novels, the protagonist must deal with an enemy - in the case of Tom Brown, it was an upperclassman bully named Flashman. In the 20th century, George Macdonald Fraser wrote a series of adventure novels featuring as hero, the adult Flashman . "Tom Brown's School Days at Rugby" has been the basis for several film and television adaptations. The book is charmingly illustrated with line drawings by Larkin G. Mead, Jr., whose style is similar to that of Flaxman. TITLE : School Days at Rugby AUTHOR : "an Old Boy" (Thomas Hughes, 1822 - 1896) ILLUSTRATOR : Larkin G. Mead, Jr. IMPRINT : James R.
