    Stig of the Dump

    Barney climbed over the fence into the sunshine of the paddock, thinking hard. He
    looked at the stone in his hand, he felt the bump on his head. He had seen the raw
    patch where the ground had given way. He remembered rushing through a sort of
    roof and leaving a big gaping hole. And yet there wasn’t a hole.
    So he couldn’t have made one.
    But he must have landed somewhere. And he had that clear picture in his head of
    looking up through a hole at the side of the cliff and clouds passing over the sky.
    And suddenly, as he stood in the middle of the paddock, he gave a big jump as the
    answer came to him like getting a sum right.
    If there wasn’t a hole it was because somebody had mended it. Stig wasn’t the sort
    of person to leave a large hole in his roof for long. Not his friend Stig!
    All at once everything fitted together — yesterday’s adventure on that Stiggish sort
    of afternoon, the bump on his head, the flint, and this bright Autumn morning when
    he was going to visit his friend Stig. And he was quite clear in his head now what he
    was going to do and how he was going to do it.

    Clive King

    Barney slips through a hole in the ground in a rubbish dump, lands in a cave and
    meets Stig, who lives there and is from the Stone-Age. Nobody believes his story,
    but Barney and Stig, even though they cannot talk to each other, embark on a series
    of wonderful adventures.
    The book is often said to be deliberately ambiguous as to whether Stig is real
    or a figment of Barney’s imagination; however Stig is seen by and interacts with
    other people.
