The Story Of A Bad Boy is a classic novel written by Thomas Bailey Aldrich. The book follows the misadventures of a young boy named Tom Bailey, who is known for his mischievous behavior and tendency to get into trouble. Tom is constantly getting into fights, skipping school, and causing chaos wherever he goes. However, despite his bad behavior, Tom is a lovable character who always manages to charm his way out of trouble.The novel takes place in the mid-19th century in a small New England town, and offers a vivid portrait of life during that time period. The book is filled with colorful characters, including Tom's friends and family members, as well as the various townspeople he encounters along the way. Despite the humorous tone of the novel, it also touches on more serious themes such as the challenges of growing up, the importance of family and community, and the struggle to find one's place in the world.Overall, The Story Of A Bad Boy is a charming and entertaining novel that offers a unique glimpse into a bygone era. It is a must-read for anyone who loves classic literature, coming-of-age stories, or simply enjoys a good laugh.Lest the title should mislead the reader, I hasten to assure him here that I have no dark confessions to make. I call my story the story of a bad boy, partly to distinguish myself from those faultless young gentlemen who generally figure in narratives of this kind, and partly because I really was not a cherub. I may truthfully say I was an amiable, impulsive lad, blessed with fine digestive powers, and no hypocrite. I didn't want to be an angel and with the angels stand.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
