Description

From the best-selling author of Horrible Histories... 9500 years ago, as the Ice Age is ending... Jay's grandfather is old, maybe twice as many summers as he has fingers and toes, but he is wise too. Jay loves to sit in their house by the river and listen to his stories of the Great Spirit and the Earth Mother. But outside, danger is at their door; food is getting scarcer and tribes are at war, and all the time, the river water is rising... 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
An ingenious mixture of legend and myth which fashions a parable for our eco era. -- The Irish Times
