An 12-year-old child is found, naked and with the scar from an attempt to cut his throat, living wild in the savage hills of the Tarn. Post-revolutionary France is ablaze with rumour, and with curiosity to see whether Jean-Jacques Rousseau's theories on childhood and the state of nature, in which primitive man was superior to the civilised, are vindicated. The boy is brought to Paris, where Itard, a young ambitious doctor, attempts to teach him at the Deaf-Mute lnstitute. Out of this true story Jill Dawson, has created a fascinating work of fiction.
