""The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling"" is a novel written by Henry Fielding and published in 1750. It is a classic work of English literature and is considered to be one of the first true novels in the English language.

As he grows up, Tom gets into a series of misadventures and romantic entanglements, all while trying to discover the truth about his own identity and find his place in the world. The novel is a humorous and satirical look at 18th-century English society, with Fielding using Tom's story to comment on issues such as class, gender, and morality.
