With each installment a massive tome unto itself, The Foundling's Tale is indeed an epic trilogy. His new career may take him all over the Half-Continent, but there is no running from who he really is. He must now prove himself as Europe's factotum and find his true place in the world, a world that is less accepting of him than he could ever imagine. But there is more to learn about than just his heritage. In Factotum, Rossamünd learns the true facts behind his unique origin. In the first two books, Foundling and Lamplighter, Rossamünd Bookchild began to learn that something about him was different, not just the fact that he was foundling. But Lamplighter was the second book in the Monster Blood Tattoo trilogy, so how come Factotum is part three of The Foundling's Tale? The answer is actually simple: Cornish changed the name of the trilogy – and for the better, I say, as the new title is not as harsh and gory sounding, and fits better with the Victorian feel of the story. If you have read the previous books, the title of the recent release, Factotum, makes perfect sense as Rossamünd Bookchild was chosen to be the new factotum to the great monster hunter Europe at the end of Lamplighter. I imagine a great many of you are scratching your heads at the latest book from D. Factotum: Part Three of The Foundling's Tale by D. M. Cornish
