Franky Furbo
Kuhusu kitabu pepe hiki
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.
