The Wild Boy: Based on the True Story of the Wild Boy of Aveyron

40 pp. | Farrar/Foster | September, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-374-38431-2 $$16.00
(2) 1-3 Gerstein tells about the wild boy found in the forests of southern France shortly after the French Revolution and the young doctor who attempted to introduce him to the norms of social behavior and learning. The book has a haunting, wistful charm captured in a minimal space through a well-honed poetic text accompanied by delicately limned, impressionistic illustrations.
