okey dokey ....

2 titular characters, who both have an unorthodox education: the first - a formal education at a rather unusual boarding school; the second - less formal and taught by a villainous gang of thieves ....

Who are the two characters and what else do they have in common?

well, the Oliver Twist bit is right .....

the second character is much newer - and has a familial commonality with Oliver ....

okay, I'm having a bit of an identity crises at the moment (read Lord A. thread in jokes and humour... gender test). I'm female, everybody. Copago is the name of our farm, pronounced Co-pay-go ... an aboriginal word meaning water for the lake near our house. Just wanted to clear that up.

Okay, i think I'm up for a literature game, i think! here goes.... feel free to yell at me if I've go the idea wrong, but thought that I could do an Author link ...,is that okay?

What do the authors Caiseal Mor and Juliet Marillier have in common? (i.e. what they write about) And why could this be considered unusual?

OK
These two 19th C ladies have much in common in their lives.
One is French.
One is Russian.

Both authors, I think, wrote historical works about that area: Kingsley wrote "Westward Ho!" and Kipling did "Puck Of Pook's Hill", a juvenile historical fantasy. tjoeb};>
