Book Overview
Albert Edward's life in 19th century England is punctuated by bouts of unexplained seizures and lapses into unconsciousness that label him a freak and a madman and severely limit his contact with the outside world. In fact, he suffers from epilepsy, a greatly misunderstood disease during the Victorian era. Frightening, fascinating and inspiring.--School Library Journal, starred review.

Wonderful book about what it can be like to be epileptic
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This book was beautifully, poetically written. This is an enchanting book for kids and adults with wonderful tale to tell. It does a wonderful job describing not only what it was like to epileptic in Victorian England, but also what it can feel like to be epileptic today. It also does a great job just describing what it was like to grow up in Victorian England.
