Summary

Best known for his beloved children’s classic ‘Tom Brown’s School Days’, Thomas Hughes was a British jurist, reformer and novelist.

It enjoyed a phenomenal success, running into nearly 50 editions by 1890. ‘Tom Brown’s School Days’ was responsible for bringing the school story genre to much wider attention, inspiring the fictional schools of Billy Bunter’s Greyfriars, Mr Chips’ Brookfield, the girls boarding school of St. Trinian’s and J.
