Synopsis "UG Boy Genius Of The Stone Age"

This heartwarming and hilarious tale, told in comic strip format, is the perfect gift for a curious child learning to understand the world around them.

Join curious Ug on his quest for a pair of soft trousers in this funny and touching stone-age story from creator of The Snowman, Raymond Briggs. Ug and his parents live in the Stone Age. And that means stone blankets, stone cold food, an even colder cave and, worst of all, hard stone trousers!

Being an inquisitive and intelligent child, Ug suggests a series of modifications to improve the quality of family life.

His ideas about heating, cooking, boats, and balls that actually bounce are initially met with a hostile reaction.

But with the help of his father, who slowly comes round to his son’s way of thinking, Ug comes tantalisingly close to his ultimate soft-trousered goal…

Raymond Briggs (1934-2022) was a British illustrator and writer known for his graphic novels and children's books. His most famous work is The Snowman (1978), a wordless story that became a classic in children's literature and was adapted into an animated movie in 1982. He also stood out with When the Wind Blows (1982), a graphic novel with a more adult tone about the consequences of a nuclear attack.

Other books by him include Father Christmas (1973), Father Christmas Goes on Holiday (1975) and Ethel & Ernest (1998), based on the life of his parents. His innovative style and ability to address both fantasy and complex themes made him an influential figure in illustrated literature.
