"The Boy With The Bronze Axe" is set on the Scottish island of Skara Brae, portraying life close to 3000 years ago in the diminish of the stone-age. Kali and Brockan are swept away by tides, when a mysterious boy in a strange boat, in possession of an unusually sharp axe, rescues them both, only for the village to be in awe of this new boy's habits and ideas. The fate of this boy and the introduction of the new bronze age is left in the hands of the residents of Skara Brae. Would you spare young Tenko for the evolution of humanity? Written in 1968 it is a beautiful timeless story of new ideas, love, youthful adventure and growth.
