Tom Brown's Schooldays by Thomas Hughes
5.0
adventurous challenging emotional hopeful inspiring lighthearted reflective relaxing sad medium-paced

This is a work of art. This isn't just a boarding school story, it has a depth of emotion and gravity of expression and sense of greater purpose that belongs to the greatest literature. The author uses his beautifully crafted story to kindle flames in his readers hearts. It is an art sorely lacking today, particularly in its desire to enrich the soul and edify the mind.
