"The Cave Boy of the Age of Stone" by Margaret A. McIntyre is a children's historical novel written in the early 20th century. The book explores the life of prehistoric cave dwellers, particularly focusing on young Thorn, a boy growing up in the Age of Stone. It delves into themes of family, survival, and the development of early tools and hunting techniques amidst the backdrop of nature. The story begins with Thorn and his brother Pineknot, who live with their family in a cave. Their father, Strongarm, is a hunter who occasionally brings back game, while their mother, Burr, teaches them the ways of life, including cooking and crafting. As the narrative unfolds, readers witness Thorn's adventures, such as learning to swim, befriending children from the nearby shell mound community, and participating in community hunts, including the significant event of a mammoth hunt. The latter part of the book also addresses the similarities between cave dwellers and Native Americans, emphasizing the importance of understanding prehistoric cultures. Through its engaging characters and vivid descriptions, the book provides a glimpse into the struggles and joys of life during the Stone Age. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
