| Summary | "The True History of Tom & Jerry" by Hindley, Egan, and Moncrieff is a historical account written in the early 19th century. This work serves as a companion piece to Pierce Egan's original "Life in London," capturing the escapades of two friends, Tom and Jerry, as they navigate the vibrant and often tumultuous London life of their time. The narrative not only chronicles their adventures but also offers a glossary of slang and flash terms used during that era, presenting a rich tapestry of societal manners and customs. At the start of the book, the reader is introduced to Tom and Jerry, who embody the spirit of London life amidst a backdrop of humor and camaraderie. Tom swiftly instructs Jerry, a newcomer, on the social dynamics of the city while emphasizing the importance of appearance and refinement in achieving a “swell” lifestyle. Their conversation introduces themes of class distinction and urban experience, setting the tone for their future escapades filled with laughter, learning, and lively interactions with various characters that populate the city. The opening portion hints at a blend of comedy and commentary on societal norms, inviting readers to explore the humorous yet insightful exploration of life in 19th century London.
