Tom Brown's School-days: The Story Is Set in the 1830s at Rugby School, a Public School for Boys. Hughes Attended Rugby School from 1834 to 1842.: ... attended Rugby School from 1834 to 1842.

I bought the book to compare to the film. As usual the film has been interpreted by the film makers. But I was disappointed in the way the book was written. There were many spelling mistakes or in some cases the wrong words used. The editors and proof readers are uneducated.

Very disappointed. Was not told that this is an Amazon reprint. Many printing errors and poorly reproduced illustrations. Oh dear!

Good book, and good value for money, arrived quickly and well packaged.

The book is wonderful - but this specific edition is unreadable. The print is tiny, and I agree with another reviewer who noted it looks like it has been photocopied. Buy another edition of this excellent story.
