Written when she was 17, The Foundling is a classic fairy tale set in the imagined kingdom of Verdopolis which will delight fans of Charlotte Bront#65533;’s later work. Abandoned as a baby, Edward Sydney finds a "protector” 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 Bront#65533; is best remembered for her perennially popular novel, Jane Eyre. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

When Charlotte wrote this aged 17 she'd never have dreamed that anyone other than siblings Branwell, Emily, or Anne would lay eyes on it, never mind it being published for readers worldwide over 100 years after her death.
Therefore, taking this into account, the only fair negative comments are the likes of, "It's not to my taste." That said, I wouldn't have rated this 3 stars if it had left me totally bored or vexed. Every so often I came across a page or so that proved entertaining, but overall I found this unappealing.
I suspected this would be the case having read much of Charlotte's other juvenilia, but being a fan of the "adult" Brontë works I still felt the need to check out all and everything the famous three sisters have written. Unlike their more famous works, however, I wouldn't read any of their juvenilia twice. (
