Clive King ; read by Martin Jarvis

Nobody believes Barney when he says he's discovered a boy living wild in the dump. But for Barney, Stig is totally real. Everybody had told Barney not to play to near the edge of the chalkpit. But today was one of those grey days when there was nothing to do and nowhere to go. Except to the chalk pit. The dump. Barney is a solitary little boy, given to wandering off by himself. One day he is lying on the edge of a disused chalkpit when it gives way and he lands in a sort of cave. Here he meets 'somebody with a lot of shaggy hair and two bright black eyes' wearing a rabbit skin and speaking in grunts. He names him Stig. Of course, nobody believes Barney when he tells his family all about Stig, but for Barney caveman Stig is totally real. They become great friends, learning each other's ways and embarking on a series of unforgettable adventures
