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.

Decent quality for the price and lots of space for your “stuff”.
Color: Single layer-Brown
This is a nice vanity tray for the price. There are a few minor rough edges but nothing that takes away from the overall appearance and functionality. This helps keep my dresser organized and holds a lot of items. I use this for my car keys, wallet, air pods, pocket knife, glasses, and a few bottles of cologne…and still have room to spare. Easy to recommend as a gift for a guy that has everything
