Mighty giants meet a down-to-earth boy in the 1972 Christopher Award-winning The Book of Giant Stories by David L. Harrison, illus. by Philippe Fix. In each of the three tales, the villains end up overshadowed by good sense and practical wisdom. Fix creates a forbidding landscape of craggy trees, fern-filled forests and darkened lairs.

Includes "The Little Boy's Secret," "The Giant Who Was Afraid of Butterflies," and "The Giant Who Threw Tantrums."
