Summary

Best known for his beloved children’s classic ‘Tom Brown’s School Days’, Thomas Hughes was a British jurist, reformer and novelist. He attended Rugby School in the 1830’s and his admiration of the headmaster Thomas Arnold and for games and boyish antics are admirably captured in his famous novel. It enjoyed a phenomenal success, running into nearly 50 editions by 1890. ‘Tom Brown’s School Days’ was responsible for bringing the school story genre to much wider attention, inspiring the fictional schools of Billy Bunter’s Greyfriars, Mr Chips’ Brookfield, the girls boarding school of St. Trinian’s and J. K. Rowling’s Hogwarts. This comprehensive eBook presents Hughes’ complete fictional works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.

    The following story is taken from St. John 15:1-27.  
In the heart of Jerusalem, amid the winding streets and bustling marketplaces, a group of disciples gathered with their beloved teacher, Jesus of Nazareth. They had journeyed together for many months, witnessing the miracles he performed and hearing the profound teachings he imparted. 
As they sat together in the Upper Room, Jesus spoke to them with words of comfort and assurance. He knew that their hearts were troubled, filled with uncertainty and fear about the future. But he also knew that he had come to bring them peace, a peace that surpassed all understanding. 
"Abide in me," Jesus said to his disciples, his voice gentle and reassuring. "As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit."
