I remember reading Tom Brown's School Days back when I was a school girl myself.
My main memories are wide-eyed amazement at what the children were able to get away with and a few bits such as the fox and hound hunt (sounded like fun), and some of the scenes with Arthur, he seemed as if he was going to be 'too good for this world' but unlike Beth in Little Women he didn't die.
I liked the homage in Pyramids by Terry Pratchett with his Arthur's piety and the mess that increased piety caused in that book's setting.
