* Agaton Sax is the hero of a series of Swedish-language comedic detective novels written for children by Swedish author Nils-Olof Franzén and illustrated by Åke Lewerth. The English edition was illustrated by Quentin Blake.
* A short, round Swede, Sax has a dog named Tikkie and an aunt named Matilda, and tracks down criminals such as Octopus Scott and Julius Mosca. He is a master of underwater ju-jitsu and of several obscure languages. With his supposed superior intellect he easily deciphers the so-called "double talk" of his nemesis "the Boss" (in which, for example, "KO" means "OK"). He is an early adopter of the computer for crime-solving purposes, though Aunt Matilda dismisses it as his "confuser".

- Minor accumulation of dust/dirt along top edge of pages
From the Grosset & Dunlap dust jacket:
- This thrilling story of prehistoric times follows the adventures of Og of the Hairy People — those brute men who lived pretty much like the ferocious animals around them. It was Og who invented a spear and a bow and arrow with which to fight the great cave leopard, the shaggy bear and the sabre-tooth tiger. And it was Og who made the first canoe — and most important of all, the first fire.
- Gripping and packed with action is this vivid tale of a boy hero who roamed the prehistoric forests hundreds of thousands of years ago.
