Tom Jones

Richly descriptive, gloriously high-spirited, epic, comic, tragic, and still amazingly lifelike after 200 years, Tom Jonesis one of the marvels of literature.

Set in mid-18th century England, the story focuses on young Tom himself: pure-hearted and warm-blooded, parentage unknown and future uncertain. As he travels life's highway in search of fame and fortune, he comes face-to-face with virtue and vice; before he achieves his destiny, he suffers all the outrages of comic misfortune.

In this audio recording you'll meet the kindly Squire Allworthy, the malevolent Blifil, the beautiful and virtuous Sophia, the bawdy Molly and the seductive Mrs. Waters. As they pursue each other from one part of the country to another, Tom Joneswill entertain and delight you every step of the way.
