GIANTS!!!,
By seapox (Zelienople, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Book of Giants (Hardcover)
This book is the usual collection of folktales, as retold by Manning-Sanders. One of the things I love about Manning-Sanders' books is that the tales are as complete as possible. I love finding a more complex version of tales I thought I knew. Such is "Jack the Giant Killer." Manning-Sanders delights with SIX different giants in this tale. It's also wonderful that Manning-Sanders gives us some marvelous giant names (Cormoran, Tantarem, & Galliagantua). The contents are as follows:Jack & the Beanstalk - English The Giant & the Dwarf - Georgian Fin M'Coul & Cucullin - Irish Sneezy Stnatcher & Sammy Small - Cornish Hans, the Horn, & the Magic Sword - Danish Jack the Giant-Killer - Cornish King Johnny - Slavic Conall Yellowclaw - Scottish The Giant in the Cave - ? The Brave Little Tailor - German The Giant Who Had No Heart in His Body - Norwegian The Three Golden Hairs of the King of the Cave Giants - German Prince Loaf - Rumanian
