One of the earliest books written specifically for boys, and now considered a classic; this is the tale of young Tom Brown, who attends the influential Rugby School. He is repeatedly bullied by Flashman, a fellow student, but manages to overcome his harassment and mature under the mentoring of the headmaster, Thomas Arnold.
