'Wolf Boy is the story of a teacher's attempts to educate and 'reclaim' Victor, the Wild Boy of Averyron in France. This famous case (the subject of Truffaut's film L'Enfant Sauvage) is here retold in a moving and challenging version, which explores the social role of education and the values it promotes.'
