This blog is designed as a forum for examining topical issues and exploring how material available on IBSS can deepen understanding of these issues. The blog also aims to highlight some of IBSS’s hidden treasures, thus showing users how to get more out of using the database.

Hi, Thanks for pointing this out. I think when bcaball prepared this post she must have found this article via a general internet search, where the following details are available: Authors: Sieveking, P. Source: New Statesman & Society; 10/25/91, Vol. 4 Issue 174, p47, 1/2p. Document Type: Article. Subject Terms: CURIOSITIES & wonders ….. However, the bibliographic details for the second reference she mentioned, i.e. the book ‘Savage Girls and Wild Boys: a History of Feral Children’ by Michael Newton Faber (2002), are available via IBSS.
