Children's Fiction Tarzan of the Apes Edgar Rice Burroughs 1912 Tarzan of the Apes (1912), by American writer Edgar Rice Burroughs, features an orphan character. John Clayton II is abandoned in the jungle in 1888 after his parents die. The baby is adopted by a widow-ape and is named “Tarzan” meaning “White Skin”. Tarzan has multiple adventures, becomes a skilled hunter and, having found his human parents’ cabin, teaches himself to read English. When Tarzan is 21 years of age when he meets Jane Porter after her group is marooned on the coast. The popularity of Burroughs’ book led to him writing a series of sequels which reportedly sold more than 25 million copies internationally.

Autobiography/Memoir The Child She Bare Hannah Brown 1919 Hannah Brown was brought to the Foundling Hospital in 1866. She wrote an account of her childhood experiences which was published anonymously The Child She Bare, A Foundling (London, Headley, 1919). She is quite negative about her time in the Foundling. And for when it was written many of her observations are spot on. She writes about the stigma and how ‘children’s happiness and future welfare is sacrificed, even to the extent of their mother’s name, nationality – thrown in the world without a relative or friend to confide in…and have no right to the stigma attached to them.’ External Website

Radio & Podcast Bluebells on Bunny Hill Alan And Irene Brogan 2023 When Alan and Irene met in 1959, their connection was instant. Two isolated children, just seven and nine, found warmth and kindness in each other in a children’s home that was unwelcoming and strict. They would steal moments together up on Bunny Hill and talk about their lives. But the home had a rule that boys and girls could not mix. So, when their friendship was discovered, Alan and Irene were separated. On BBC Radio 4’s Life Changing, they explain how it would take four decades for them to find each other again.
