But the fact that James Bond or Tony Stark had parents who died before they were adults is incidental to their treatment as characters, and by including examples like that on the list, we invite this to become yet another useless trivia dump, as every character for whom the writer took the cliched shortcut of making him an orphan gets listed. This is an excellently and beautifully written novel. She has always been fascinated by the Pendle witches. The site of the Hospital is now a park, Coram's Fields, to the south of the British Library. Salopian (talk) 23:43, 29 April 2010 (UTC), I've also added Aandaal, Jean le Rond d'Alembert, Andy McNab and Oedipus. George Cruikshank’s famous illustration of ‘Oliver asking for more’, from a colour edition of Oliver Twist, 1911. In those days ordinary people could not obtain divorces, so there were many unhappy marriages, many secret relationships. Other possibilities are 'feral children' such as Kaspar Hauser, Victor of Aveyron and especially Marie-Angélique Memmie Le Blanc. This Hospital is in the background of the plot and all information is precise and well-researched. -Jason A. I read and liked Stacey Hall’s first book : The Familiars, but this was a much smoother read, more accomplished. The only thing that could have helped identify him – her precious locket, which she had not pawned or sold despite being hungry and exhausted 7ndash; is stolen from her corpse. It took me immediately into the mid-18th century, with very few, if any anachronisms. It's atmospheric and evocative of the period when it takes place. I also found it odd that it was published in the UK as The Foundling, but as The Lost Orphan here in the US, which is a rather dull and somewhat misleading title. Alternatively, there could be a 'See also'. Proceeds are donated to charity. I actually read this in one day, which is very unusual for me, especially on a work day. The orphans' parents were given the opportunity to leave some sort of token at the hospital for their child. Surviving financially in the world was extremely difficult for an unmarried mother, with a child to care for. The next one comes will be Unwin, and the next Vilkins. Santa Claus is included on the grounds that the real person he is based on was an orphan, but that isn't a standard part of the traditional Santa mythos, which (a 1970s TV special notwithstanding) generally ignores the character's origins, and there is no official Santa Claus canon to settle the question. In fact, I don't think I ever was jarringly brought back to the present in this book; I really saw and heard and smelled Georgian London at every step. In some ways, being a foundling could perhaps be regarded as a preferable position in the world than being an illegitimate parish orphan, just as it was more fortunate for a baby to be taken in by the Foundling Hospital than the local workhouse. Another excellent book from Stacey Halls. I actually read this in one day, which is very unusual for me, especially on a work day. Sorry, your blog cannot share posts by email. It would provide the connection between parent and child should there be a possibility of reuniting. For those who have read The Familiars, expect something different with this one – and isn’t that one of the best examples of literary talent: the ability to write each book different, to not write to formula, or stick to what worked for you before.
