I also had such a great time creating the character for the drawing- giants are a HUGE favourite of mine! This big mean Giant isn't the first we have met in the land of Nod, but I think he just might be the funniest! Did you know the almost all major civilisations throughout the ages have had their own versions of giants?! The word comes from the Latin word used to describe the huge and fearsome creatures of greek mythology. In biblical terms, giants were said to be the offspring of fallen angels, and two of them were called GOG and MAGOG- what wonderful names for Giants! We are not sure what the giant's name is in this story, but we know that he is big and mean and a little bit silly, so wait and see if he can be outwitted by a tired and hungry cobbler on his way home from a hard day's work! We hope you enjoy this story as much as we did!
