FIRST EDITION WITH AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR. "Tom Brown's School Days is an 1857 novel by English lawyer, author, and politician Thomas Hughes. It takes place in the 1830s at a public school for young men, Rugby School, where Hughes himself studied between 1834 and 1842. Based loosely on Hughes' real experiences at Rugby School, the novel follows Tom Brown, a student whom Hughes modeled after his brother, George. A bildungsroman, or coming-of-age novel, Tom Brown's School Days deals with Brown's development as an individual as he moves schools and homes, encounters bullies, deals with sickness, and makes friends. As soon as Brown starts classes at Rugby School, a classmate named Harry East, or "Scud," takes him under his wing. His friendship with Scud helps him deal with a vicious bully who goes by Flashman. Flashman's antagonism only increases during the term. Their nemesis relationship culminates when Flashman orders Brown to fork over a winning sweepstake entry for a horse race. Flashman seeks retribution by burning Brown next to a fire pit during a social event. Ultimately, Brown and East band together with an older friend named Diggs to defeat Flashman. They succeed, allowing Brown to finally feel safe at school. The novel has been adapted into several films and plays. It is succeeded by the novel Tom Brown at Oxford.
