By Henry Fielding
With Illustrations by Rowland Wheelwright

" First published in 1749, The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling is one of the great masterpieces of English literature and a landmark in the development of the modern novel. Written by Henry Fielding, the story follows the adventures of the good-hearted but impulsive Tom Jones, an orphan raised by the benevolent Squire Allworthy. Through romance, misadventure, mistaken identities, and encounters across every level of Georgian society, Fielding creates a richly entertaining portrait of eighteenth-century England while exploring themes of virtue, morality, and human nature.

Combining humour, satire, social commentary, and romance, Tom Jones remains celebrated for its vivid characters and energetic storytelling. Fielding's sharp observations of society expose hypocrisy, class prejudice, and moral double standards, yet the novel retains a warmth and generosity that have secured its reputation as one of the enduring classics of British fiction. Its influence on later writers was immense, helping to establish the novel as one of the dominant literary forms of the modern age.

This handsome 1925 George G. Harrap limited edition elevates Fielding's classic through the inclusion of fine colour illustrations by Rowland Wheelwright. Issued in a strictly limited edition of only 1,000 copies for England and 1,000 copies for the United States, this example is numbered 152 of the English issue and bears the artist's signature. Beautifully produced and increasingly sought after by collectors, it represents an attractive combination of literary significance, fine book illustration, and limited-edition craftsmanship. "
