Description: There is something isolated and sad about being a giant. As William Mayne points out, "In past times, it seems, if you heard there was a giant, you went and sharpened your sword and killed him if you could." But Mr. Mayne doesn't know "why giants should have a bad name at all." And the nineteen stories in this collection tell about well-meaning giants as well as evil-minded ones. There is a gouty giant, an outwitted giant, an heroic giant, and a selfish giant. The authors represented are as various as Eleanor Farjeon, Seumas MacManus, Sorche Nic Leodhas, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Oscar Wilde, and Jonathan Swift. It is a larger-than-life gathering indeed, edited by one of today's outstanding writers for children and illustrated by one of today's top children's book artists, Raymond Briggs.
