Description: The story of a real mystery from history: two girls brought to an orphanage in India by a missionary in 1920 were found in a wolf den. They didn't know how to speak and ate only raw meat. Were the girls abandoned by their parents and raised by animals, or did the missionary invent the wolf story to make money? No one has ever found out. Full-color illustrations.
