About this listen

Tom Brown's Schooldays is the story of an energetic, good-hearted boy and his adventures at public school. Based on the author's own childhood, the novel presents us with a snapshot of life at Victorian public school as we follow Tom's development from a boy to a young man. Tom must fend off his archenemy, the bully Flashman, and take a younger boy under his wing - through which he learns loyalty, courage, and brotherhood.

admittedly I haven't read the book but its structured as somebody telling you the story of tom brown so having a narrator read it to you works wonderfully.

I honestly dont think my imagination could compete with the emotion and replicated the genteel englishness of the brilliant voice actor.

I highly recommend this.

This must be best way to experience the story

This is a really lovely book, the kind of book that you can listen to over and over again. Years ago, I saw a television version of this story but that television version left out all of the beauty of the book. It is beautiful for so many things – the evocation of rural life in England in the 1830s; the depiction of life at Rugby School; the realistic narration of a boy growing up; the wise advice; the joy of living; and the wonderful Christian message that underpins the story. The narrator, Jamie Parker, is marvellous; he has a massively wide range of voices and accents. He is at one with the story and carries you back to the 1830s. The sound quality is also excellent – lovely and loud. I wish there were more books like this; it is worth infinitely more than five stars.

A beautiful book, marvellous narration
