Hamid is busy digging new tunnels in his home in the side of a hill where he unearths many Things. When Hamid leaves his tunnel home he brings with him many of the Things he has found there. After many travels and encounters with other wayfarers, Hamid digs a tunnel which brings him to the surface in the office of the Director of a Museum, who explains to Hamid that he is a Syrian Golden Hamster and that his Things are relics of antiquity. Hamid the Syrian Golden Hamster donates his Things to the Museum and is rewarded. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Stig_of_the_Dump"><i>Stig of the Dump</i></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Clive_King&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Stig of the Dump"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><i><a href="/wiki/Stig_of_the_Dump" title="Stig of the Dump">Stig of the Dump</a></i> (1963), illustrated by <a href="/wiki/Edward_Ardizzone" title="Edward Ardizzone">Edward Ardizzone</a>, follows the adventures of a boy who discovers a Stone-Age cave-dweller living at the bottom of a disused chalk pit in Kent that has been used as an unofficial rubbish dump.
