Clive King was born in Surrey, England, in 1926. He graduated from Cambridge University and worked for a long time for the British Council. He has traveled extensively to exotic places and often used the impressions he received there in his children's books.
Clive King's most famous book, "The Stig of Garbage Hill," is about a lonely eight-year-old boy named Barney, who is used to finding things to do for himself. One day, he falls into an old chalk mine, lands in a cave, and finds a creature there, dressed in rabbit skins and speaking only in grunts and grunts. He names the creature Stig, and little by little they get to know each other and embark on a series of exciting adventures.
In England, "The Stig of Garbage Hill" is one of the most popular books among children aged 6-12. Both boys and girls love to read "The Stig", so exciting are the adventures of Barney and Stig and their wonderful relationships.
