"The Story of a Bad Boy" is a semi-autobiographical novel by Thomas Bailey
Aldrich, published in 1870. It follows the adventures of Tom Bailey, a
mischievous boy growing up in Rivermouth, New Hampshire. Tom becomes a member
of a boys' club called the Centipedes and engages in various pranks and
adventures with his friends. He befriends Sailor Ben, helps fire off old
cannons, and eventually moves to New York to work in a counting-house. The
book was first published in 1869 and later republished in 1895 with
illustrations. It is considered the foundational text in the "bad boy" genre
of literature, which includes works by Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner.
The book received praise for its realistic portrayal of a boy's life and the
idea that troublemakers can grow up to be successful adults. Twain was
influenced by the book, despite initially expressing some criticism. The story
takes place in a fictional town based on Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and the
author's widow turned the home into a museum.
