Edward the Crazy Man

the long version

Edward the Crazy Man is a story of triumph over misunderstanding. It is a touching and funny, humane, and dynamic tale of one boy's will to help one man and to change perceptions about homelessness and schizophrenia. When Charlie was a boy, he would encounter a man on the streets that everyone called the Crazy Man but Charlie saw something in him that others did not. Charlie saw the man's bright blue eyes that glittered like stars and he loved the fantastical costumes that the man concocted from things people threw away.
