The Cave Boy of the Age of Stone is a classic heavily illustrated educational children's novel aimed at a juvenile audience published in 1907 by author Margaret A. McIntyre and illustrated by Irma Deremeaux[2] which is currently available in digital formats from multiple sources.

By 2007, the work had entered the public domain and several reprint publishers on three continents[3] have brought out new editions varying considerably in quality and workmanship, including at least one with the many original line drawings (Etchings) reproduced throughout (See list below) in a high quality hardcover edition.

The story line focuses on two young brothers and their family group while attempting to educate the young reader in a picture of what life was likely like for Cavemen.

In the earliest part of the narrative, the author introduces the idea of domestication of animals, because a tethered kid (goat offspring) had become gentled and docile—so much so they put their toddler sister on its back for a ride.

Moving forward, the novel describes all the major milestones featured during the stone age such as the discovery of fire, the creation of weapons, hunting/ foraging for food, cooking that food, as well as how and why man learnt how to swim.
