Some time back, I read a story about (as I remember) a boy found by a nomad girl who was leading her father's goats. Or maybe she found him and his goats. Or maybe the whole thing is my imagination.

There's another one like this that starts off with a north-sea fisherman (not a boy) who winds up in a desert. I can remember a bright orange cold-water survival suit that impresses the natives.

Sounds like something in the time travel genre. One such story involves a guy who went on to become a gladiator, I think.
