But our little girl was raised by animals, taught to talk by birds, to eat by bears, to play by foxes. Her captors are in for quite the surprise. They'll soon learn you cannot tame something so happily wild!. Biographical Note: Dahlov Ipcar was born in Windsor, Vermont in 1917 and brought up in Greenwhich village, New York.
