When she fell pregnant in London in 1938, Jean knew that she couldn't keep her baby. The unmarried daughter of an elder in the Church of Scotland, she would shame her family if she returned to the north in such a condition. Scared and alone in a city on the brink of war, she begged the Foundling Hospital to give her baby the start in life that she could not.  The institution, which had been providing care for deserted infants since the eighteenth century, allowed Jean to nurse her son for nine weeks, leaving her heartbroken when the time came to let him go.  But little Tom knew nothing of her love as he grew up in the Foundling Hospital - which, during years of the Second World War, was more like a prison than a children's home. Locked in and subject to public canings and the sadistic whims of the older boys, there was no one to give him a hug, no one to wipe away his tears.  A true story of desertion and neglect, this is also a moving account of survival from one of the very last foundlings. It stands as a testament to the love that ultimately led a family back together.

<p>A 21st Century take on an 18th Century "grub ballad". The Gentleman Highwayman follows the lives and exploits of two young Irishmen caught up in the "Bewitching Pleasures" of the London of the late 1740s. The story follows the two around the risky and perilous vicious circle that becomes their existence - obtaining cash at the end of a pair of pistols in a vain attempt to sustain a lifestyle beyond their reach. As soon as their ill-gotten gains are wasted on chasing rich women and keeping up appearances, the quicker they find themselves back out on the Road "for a Recruit"; eventually leading to an ignominious death for one and a sharp exit for the other. The Gentleman Highwayman is meticulously researched and crammed full of fascinating historical facts on Scotland, on 18th Century London, on highwaymen and highway robbery, on crime and punishment, on Colonial America, and so much more. A real educational feast! A must for admirers of the film 'Plunkett &amp; Macleane' intrigued to know their true stories and fates.</p>
