	Tom Brown's Schooldays (Oxford World's Classics)
		Tom is indeed the eponymous protagonist of the novel but whether he's the hero of it or whether that station is held by someone else is a matter to ruminate.
		Tom is manufactured into a brooding character by the darker and srious aspect of their friendship in the chapter dealing with dilemmas and deliverancs.
		Tom Brown's transmutation from a dreamy-eyed boy to a 19-year-old English gentleman on the verge of departure from Rugby is accomplished when he realises the greatness of the Doctor who underlines his own influence in moulding Tom.

		Tom’s friends are mostly ‘village boys’ before he goes to school and it is interesting here to notice how Hughes makes it clear that although Tom spends time with them, he is never one of them, because of his status as the ‘young master’ and the Squire’s son.
		Tom’s time in the lower-fourth form sees Hughes turning to the serious theme of bullying which has been touched on previously but is now expanded with the account of Tom’s torments at the hands of Flashman and his friends.
		Tom is flogged, but note that he makes a point of giving the keeper a reward for not confiscating the borrowed fishing rod and this makes it possible for him to become ‘fast friends’ with Velveteens, so he manages to still catch illegal fish.

	Tom Holt: The Official Website, hosted by Orbit
		Tom Holt was born in London in September 1961.
		At Oxford he studied bar billiards, ancient Greek agriculture and the care and feeding of small, temperamental Japanese motorcycle engines; interests which led him, perhaps inevitably, to qualify as a solicitor and emigrate to Somerset, where he specialised in death and taxes for seven years before going straight in 1995.
		Tom Holt is one of a range of bestselling writers, including Joanna Trollope, Maeve Binchy and Richard Branson, who are taking part in a major new literacy initiative.

		Tozer declares that Thomas Hughes’s Tom Brown’s Schooldays was largely responsible for the emphasis of the physical in the definition of the Victorian gentlemen and for the era’s “emerging clamour of hearty athleticism” (44).

	LRB · Thomas Jones: Short Cuts
		He played well at all games where pluck wasn’t much wanted, and managed generally to keep up appearances where it was; and having a bluff, off-hand manner, which passed for heartiness, and considerable powers of being pleasant when he liked, went down with the school in general for a good fellow enough.
		He’s expelled after Brown and his friend East — the one who denounces Flashman as a ‘cowardly brute’ — challenge him to a fight (two against one isn’t unfair because they’re only little).
		The shortest contribution is ‘the underfunder’s utopia’ by Tom Leonard, an asthmatic poet: ‘the state hospital/ with one bed/always full/always efficient’.

		On seeing the title "Tom Brown's Schooldays" printed on the cover of the book, you're invariably led to the conclusion that it is yet another tale of a schoolboy, yet another story of a mischievous brat, yet another trailer of a prankster.
		This book is about the life and coming of age of a young wealthy English boy, who goes to school at Rugby.
		It is easy to read and understand, and I consider it highly recommendable.
