N2  - Many years ago a missionary in India found a child, aged approximately 8 years, living in a wolf's den. He brought her to an orphanage, where she remained until her death nine years later. At first she reacted to her environment as would any wild animal, but apparently suitable care resulted in adapting her to human ways, although she never quite fully reached her normal human age. The book, which is illustrated with photographs, quotations and comments by Dr. Gesell, is a striking document, a fascinating contribution to ethnology.
