Savage Girls and Wild Boys - History of Feral Children by Michael Difoe
Michael has written a lot about real life stories of wild children. Here he tells us about one story he discovered while researching his book. He was found in the woods of North Germany in the 1720s and brought to London. In fact he came to live with the king and queen at the time living in Leicester Square. That's an incredible story. Can you imagine just going from the woods being raised by bears to a palace and being raised by the royal family? Yeah there's quite an upgrade isn't it? I don't know. I think I might prefer living with the bears actually.
