Inspired by Kipling’s Jungle Books, among others, this site celebrates the tales of feral children - those fascinating creatures that are not quite human and yet not entirely animal....
THIS SITE INCLUDES SOME NUDITY.
There is nothing obscene or pornographic about that. It’s just that many feral children have never even heard of clothes (not even loincloths). If this bothers you please feel free to surf elsewhere.
How cool is being raised by wolves?
Coolness Graphed has done the math(s).
1 SEPTEMBER 2024: Following the recent site outage, I have now moved to a new webhost. In the process of restoring the front page, I decided to remove the endless Miscellaneous Images text links. In due course these will be replaced by an Images page using thumbnails. I’ve also removed the scrolling News of the Wild section, because it was outdated and cumbersome to code.*
3 APR 2023: The Kipling Society has changed its web address, which means I now have to go through every page and replace the old one with the new one. Thanks, guys(!)
