Opis

"The Story of Ab: A Tale of the Time of the Cave Man" by Stanley WaterlooAb is a Stone Age boy who grows to young manhood amid the many dangers of his times. With his friend, Oak, he digs a pit and catches a baby rhinoceros, participates in a mammoth hunt with the tribe to prove himself a man, and courts the young women from a neighboring tribe. One girl in particular, Lightfoot, holds the attention of both men, and Ab is forced to kill his friend in a savage fight. He wins Lightfoot for his mate, but is haunted by guilt for his murdered companion. As Ab grows older, he becomes the leader of the cave men, and the patriarch of a large personal family. During his life Ab invents and perfects the bow and arrow, and is the first of the primitives to domesticate wolves as pets.
