The Stone Book

"The Stone Book" (1976, ISBN 0001847775), part of "The Stone Book Quartet", a series of children's books by Alan Garner, follows Mary and her father in a time when stone cutting was the main trade. One day she requests a book from her father and he shows her the true meaning of books - he builds her one out of stone. He doesn't believe in schooling or books - believing they are a waste of money as you don't get anything from them.
