Clive King Libri

Barney è un bambino solitario di otto anni, incline a vagabondare da solo. Un giorno, mentre si trova sul bordo di una cava dismessa, cade e atterra in una sorta di caverna, dove incontra qualcuno con una folta chioma e due occhi neri brillanti, vestito con una pelle di coniglio e che parla in grugniti. Barney lo chiama Stig. I due imparano a comunicare e insieme saccheggiano la discarica in fondo alla cava, migliorano l'abitazione di Stig e vivono una serie di avventure che sono a volte incredibilmente improbabili e altre volte estremamente pratiche.
