About this product
Product Information
Stig of the Dump by Clive King is 50 years old and the story of Barney and his best friend, cave-man Stig, is as fresh today as it was when first published. 'Stig's nice. He's my friend' Nobody believes Barney when he says he's discovered a boy living wild in the dump. But for Barney, Stif is totally real. They become great friends, learn each other's ways and embark on a series of exciting adventures. 'This story has wonderful appeal' - Guardian Clive King was born in Richmond, Surrey in 1924. When he was a baby his family moved to a village called Ash, near Sevenoaks in Kent, which is the setting for Stig of the Dump. He went to local schools, then King's School, Rochester and Downing College, Cambridge. During the war he served in the Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve and later joined the British Council. He now lives in a cottage in Norfolk, and has three children and several grandchildren.Product Identifiers

A classic that will never be boring
I love this book, the story line reminds my childhood, growing up in the beautiful Norfolk countryside. Believe it or not, we had an open dump where we used to play, you don't find open dumps nowadays. But seriously, this was an old disused pit, once dug out for its sand. But enough of my reminiscing, buy , read and soak up the charming apmisphere of a wonderful adventure story. 5***** 👍🏼Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
