"History of Tom Jones, a Foundling" by Henry Fielding is a comic novel published in 1749. This picaresque tale follows Tom, an abandoned baby raised by the wealthy Squire Allworthy, as he grows into a spirited youth who falls in love with his neighbor's daughter, Sophia Western.

cases of mistaken identity, and unexpected revelations converge in this intricately plotted story of love and fortune. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
