In 1869 Thomas Bailey Aldrich introduced to American literature the
original "bad boy"--that all-American boy who plays harmless
pranks, devises exciting adventures, has an occasional bout of
love-sickness, is bored on Sundays, and is well-liked by almost
everyone. Later followed by Mark Twain's The Adventures of Tom
Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, The Story of a Bad
Boy--once called the first truly American novel--is Aldrich's
partially autobiographical tale of growing up in America. Set in
Rivermouth (based on Aldrich's childhood home in Portsmouth, New
Hampshire), it follows the exploits of young Tom Bailey through
snowball wars, schoolyard fights, Fourth of July parades,
adventures at sea, and childhood sweathearts. Now printed in more
than fifty editions and read and beloved by Americans for over a
century, Aldrich's classic is ready to be rediscovered by a new
generation of readers.
