Feral children books | Works of fiction
Modern Fiction
Feral children are still a recurrent theme in modern fiction. Knowledge of Angels, by Jill Paton Walsh examines in depth the moral problems that feral children raise when they re-enter human societies. The newly-published novel Wild Boy, by Jill Dawson is a fictionalised account of the true story of Victor of Aveyron, and the attempts by Itard and Madame Guérin to "humanise" him.
Children of the Wolf by Jane Yolen is based on Amala and Kamala, who were found in a wolf's den in Midnapore, India in the 1920s, and brought to a local orphanage.
The Ape-Man, His Kith and Kin
An extensive collection of works of classic fiction is available online in The Ape-Man, His Kith and Kin It includes reprints of Kipling and many others, and the work has additional forwards etc by Drs Candland (Feral Children and Clever Animals) and Dodds.
Morality for Beautiful Girls
Morality for Beautiful Girls by Alexander McCall Smith, the third book in the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency series of novels, features a feral child who had lived with lions. Mma Ramotswe makes a wise decision, sparing him the fate of many real-life feral children.

Je suis la bĂȘte

Cette situation est intensément romanesque dans la mesure où il s'agit de décrire avec une précision extrême quelque chose qui n'a jamais été raconté : le monologue d'un enfant sauvage qui vit, chasse et combat dans la forêt. Quelle langue donner à un tel récit ? Quel est l'accent de la sauvagerie, ce parler particulier d'une expérience tellement impressionnante que l'on n'en pourra point douter ?
Tel a été pour moi l'un des enjeux les plus palpitants de ce livre : trouver cette scansion de fond de gorge, de fond de bois, qui remonte peu à peu jusqu'au rebord de ses lèvres. Inventer un langage qui donnera voix au fantastique, c'est-à-dire à une réalité insoupçonnable, au delà des marges, au delà de tout."
