Customer Reviews

Touching - a true life tragedy!

This book was amazing! At first, it took a little getting used to the writing style - it was written in 1908 - but it was a great book. Kaspar's (German's prefer it spelled with a K) story is true, and very sad, and I think the author does an incredible job of putting the reader into Kaspar's head and transfering his emotions. If ever a book needing to be reprinted, this is it!

Real facts presented in a fictional form.

Caspar Hauser, [or Kaspar - the Germans prefer to use the K] was a sort of 'Anastasia' of the 19th century. A mystery of a boy who came from nowhere, and who only lived for 5 years. This book tells his sad tale in fictional form, but readers will get a strong idea of the case from this book, which offers the facts in an easily understood form, in much the same way that Hans Nogly's novel about Anastasia contains the essential truths of her story.Well worth a re-print please!
