Abandoned as a baby, Edward Sydney finds a &#8220;protector&#8221; in Mr. Hasleden, a rich local landowner who declares an interest in the child and claims him as his own. The boy grows up believing Hasleden to be his father, but after his death, Edward discovers evidence of his real name and the circumstances of his birth. Full of curiosity about his true origins, he sets off on a journey to the mythical kingdom of Verdopolis. There, after several adventures, Edward meets and falls in love with the noble Lady Julia, only to find that she is betrothed to another. Charlotte Brontë is best remembered for her perennially popular novel, <i>Jane Eyre.</i></div></div> 45847 1 9 2005 The Foundling (Hesperus Classics) total:40|5:4|4:8|3:19|2:8|1:1| 40 126 93 10 2 0 false false Sun Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Apr 13 07:20:13 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 13 07:26:56 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sat Jan 03 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 03 15:25:57 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 05 12:08:45 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Thu Aug 16 11:37:40 -0700 2007 Thu Aug 16 11:48:47 -0700 2007 more...]]> 3 0 false false Fri Jun 13 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Jun 11 18:30:36 -0700 2008 Fri Jun 13 13:57:43 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Thu Jul 16 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 13 12:02:09 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 16 09:49:34 -0700 2009 Reading this made me feel like I was at a sleepover with a very creative story telling friend. ]]> 3 0 false false Sun Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 03 23:34:19 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 03 23:36:16 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sat Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Tue Dec 18 21:33:43 -0800 2007 Sun Dec 23 12:09:02 -0800 2007 2 0 false false Sun Jan 20 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun Jan 20 10:32:50 -0800 2008 Mon Jan 21 11:54:28 -0800 2008 2 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Fri Dec 28 17:04:08 -0800 2007 Sun Jan 13 17:03:44 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Jan 07 11:02:28 -0800 2008 Mon Jan 07 11:03:21 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Tue Dec 01 08:00:39 -0800 2009 Tue Dec 01 08:00:42 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Tue Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 1981 Thu Nov 26 22:45:28 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 26 22:55:10 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Mon Nov 23 18:20:45 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 23 18:20:45 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Nov 18 12:10:53 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 18 12:10:53 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Nov 12 13:15:41 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 12 13:15:41 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Tue Nov 10 17:56:00 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 10 17:56:00 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Sat Oct 31 13:16:49 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 31 13:16:49 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Oct 28 14:46:07 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 28 14:46:07 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Oct 15 07:23:17 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 15 07:23:20 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Oct 14 09:53:07 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 14 09:53:07 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=46767
