The Library After Dark

Comedy

History of Tom Jones, a Foundling

by Henry Fielding

A baby is found in a squire’s bed, grows up handsome, good-hearted and forever in trouble, and is turned out onto the roads of eighteenth-century England. Fielding talks to his reader at the start of every book, like a host at a long dinner. It is one of the great comic novels in the language.
