East Germany, 1948. Egon, a boy of eight, is found living alone in the forest and is dubbed ‘wolf boy’. He appears to be the son of Peter von Lützow-Brüel, arrested five years previously, along with his wife, in the wake of the 1944 assassination plot that narrowly failed to kill Adolf Hitler. Rescued from the woods by Richard Thurgo, an English relative leading a shady, underworld existence in post-war Hamburg, the boy is sent to England to be brought up by Richard’s brother, Alec. Yet the finer details of his past remain shrouded in mystery and confusion. Is Egon really the heir to Count Peter Lützow-Brüel, or is there more to his history? As the years pass it seems that Egon has become every bit the civilised and educated adolescent. He is, perhaps, even a little too conscious of his cultured, aristocratic background. All trace of the feral ‘wolf boy’ seems to have vanished. But beneath the veneer of civility, Egon remains the ‘wolf boy’. When this leads him to a new school, his life collides with that of Alec Hanbury. The events that follow transform the lives of both man and youth, forcing Hanbury to confront his memories, values and regrets - and setting in train Egon’s ultimate reconnection with his own, complex, past. Will the scars and nightmares from Egon’s wilderness years threaten to reclaim him? ‘Egon’ is the third book in Carey Harrison’s ‘To Liskeard’ quartet. It follows on from ‘Richard’s Feet’ and ‘Cley’. ‘Egon, the third book in Carey Harrison’s quartet, To Liskeard, reinforces the impression given by Richard’s Feet and Cley of his comprehensive skills as a novelist … Egon, a self-contained story of the tragic harm caused by good intentions, is the most moving of the three.’ - Times Literary Supplement ‘Fairy tale and detective story, beautifully written … it is an exciting novel and most who read it will want to read the others and the one to come’ - Daily Telegraph ‘A hypnotic novel … very clever, very imaginative … breathtaking’- Mail on Sunday ‘Magnificent’ - The Times ‘Both funny and tragic… set to become essential reading.’ – The Financial Times Described in the Dublin Evening News as ‘one of the most accomplished writers of our time,’ Carey Harrison was born in Britain and raised in the United States where he has spent the majority of his working life. He began as a stage playwright, completing 42 plays for the stage and forty plays for BBC radio. He is also an actor, teach and novelist. He lives in Woodstock, New York.

The first one was "Tarzan." I believe that we are so adjusted to the culture of civilization that we are blind to what we are missing, which is a kind of freedom that makes a mockery of what we call "freedom." Carey Harrison has conveyed this impossible experience while telling the story, for the most part, from the point of view of an observer. It is unabashedly tragic.
