Ini dia, dijelaskan seperti untuk anak usia 10 tahun:

Tom Jones adalah anak temuan, bayi yang ditinggalkan secara misterius di rumah tuan tanah kaya dan dibesarkan sebagai anaknya sendiri. Tom tumbuh baik, berani, dan terlalu suka bersenang senang, sementara saudara angkatnya Blifil bersekongkol melawannya diam diam. Diusir dari rumah, Tom bepergian melintasi Inggris, masuk ke perkelahian, penyelamatan, dan kesulitan, sambil mencintai Sophia yang cantik. Fielding menceritakannya seperti teman yang terus tertawa pada kisahnya sendiri.
