Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

A haunting and hugely readable study of the history of feral children across the ages, which elucidates the mixture of disgust and envy that they provoke, and puts our notions of education and civilization to the test. "A collection of six extraordinary individual histories, beautifully navigated" "Evening Standard"."A riveting study with a modest, elegaic conclusion and a final flourish of compassion" "Sunday Telegraph".

Synopsis:

An account of feral children - those brought up with no human contact, sometimes raised by wild animals, unable to speak or perform functions we consider human. The book examines their lives and the experiences of those who "rescued" them, looked after them, educated them or abused them.
