June 2014 Guest Editor Freya North on The History of Tom Jones...

I have to admit that I saw the film version with Albert Finney and Susannah York first – but I loved it so much I read the novel immediatley.  I was a teenager and it was the first very early novel that I read by choice, rather than from the school curriculum.  I loved it.  I also loved that it was vilified in its time as `A motley history of bastardism, fornication, and adultery' .

I’ve often thought what a happy couple he and Moll Flanders would make…
