What if they starve And even worse, what if it's true that their father's the thief A new exciting tale, based on real historical and archeological evidence, this story is full of Terry Deary's imaginative style and dry wit.

Reviews

From the master of historical non-fiction and fiction Terry Deary himself, well-known for writing the Horrible Histories series, comes the latest offering in his Tales series Stone Age Tales... Thoroughly enjoyable whilst providing a glimpse in to our past, they are the first choice of books I think about to complement any history topic in school. * The Reader Teacher, @MrEPrimary *
All the stories are imaginatively written, have plenty of accurate historical detail based on real evidence, and illustrations which really do add to the setting. The writing style is pacy and there's plenty of action to hold children's attention. * Parents in Touch *
