FeralChildren.com says Brief details of historical cases plus extensive chapters on Peter, Victor, Kamala and Amala, Memmie Leblanc and Kaspar Hauser

Product Description Wild or feral children have fascinated us down the centuries, and continue to do so today. In a haunting and hugely readable study, Michael Newton deftly investigates a number of infamous cases. He looks at Peter the Wild Boy, who gripped the attention of Swift and Defoe, and at Victor of Aveyron who roamed the forests of revolutionary France. He tells the story of a savage girl lost on the streets of Paris; of two children brought up by wolves in the jungles of India; of a boy brought up among monkeys in Uganda; and in Moscow, of a child found living with a pack of wild dogs.

Amazon customer review © This is a fantastic book, bringing together six very different case studies of wild children. It is a book about innocence and its vulnerability. Exquisitely written, Newton brings together each tale with a great deal of feeling and consideration and is a book that will stay with you long after you have read it.
