Franky Furbo

A welcome reissue of this wartime classic from the author of Birdy. During WW II a dying American soldier William Wiley and his German captor Wilhelm Klug are miraculously rescued by a fox endowed with extraordinary powers Franky Furbo. For William the experience is indisputably true but when he discovers later that neither his wife nor children believe in Franky he endures a crisis of faith and searches desperately for the truth. Franky Furbo is a modern fable with a remarkable twist quite unlike anything Wharton wrote before or since.
