Although I didn't completely finish this book, it's a classic among English school children, I believe. A good picture of how a young boy growing up in England in the 1830's spent his days in Rugby School. Tom Brown is better at rugby than at his academic studies. The story follows him for about 10 years and is somewhat based on the author's brother. It was published in 1857, so it takes a bit of time and patience to get through it after reading modern novels, but well worth it. I intend to finish it one day soon.
