The History of the Adventures of Joseph Andrews, and His Friend Mr. Abraham Adams. Written in Imitation of the Manner of Cervantes, Author of Don Quixote Author: Henry Fielding - Henry Fielding was an English novelist and dramatist known for his rich earthy humour and satirical prowess, and as the author of the novel "Tom Jones," a comic novel first published on 28 February 1749 and one of the earliest English prose works describable as a novel. The novel, totaling 346,747 words, is divided into 18 smaller books, each preceded by a discursive chapter, often on topics totally unrelated to the book itself.Aside from his literary achievements, he has a significant place in the history of law-enforcement, having founded (with his half-brother John) what some have called London's first police force, the Bow Street Runners, using his authority as a magistrate.
