(1972- )
Contrary to its daunting size, Foundling is a fun story about a boy with a girl’s name. Rossamund is a Bookchild, meaning he was raised as an orphan, and the only record of his existence is recorded in the book of names at the orphanage.

When he is finally called upon, he is a little downhearted to hear that he is to be a lamplighter.
