This is what it says on the back: After tumbling off the back of a wagon, Jip was brought to the town poor farm. He has lived there ever since, content to do chores and tend animals-until the day the lunitic comes. Caged like an animal, Put seems terrifying and less than human. But as the weeks pass, Jip sees Put as the wise man he truly is. And, when a menacing stranger comes to town, claiming to have been sent by Jip`s grieving father, Jip turns to his new friend to make sense of it all. With Put`s help, can Jip solve the riddle of his past?
