"Stories of Giants" by Christopher Rawson explores the rich tapestry of legends and folklore surrounding giants in various cultures. The book delves into mythical tales, examining how these colossal beings embody human fears, aspirations, and values. Each story weaves a unique narrative, showcasing the giants' roles as protectors, adversaries, and reflections of humanity itself. Through vivid storytelling and insightful commentary, Rawson invites readers to reflect on the significance of giants in mythology and their enduring influence on our understanding of strength, morality, and the human condition. The collection reveals both the awe and the complexity of these towering figures. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].

Gill Harvey studied French and Philosophy at Oxford, and has been puzzling over life ever since. She became a writer/editor at Usborne Publishing then decided to go freelance and writing has become a way of life. Her love of horses has resulted in eight of the Heartland titles for Scholastic Inc under the name of Lauren Brooke; she has also written for the Young Animal Ark series as Lucy Daniels. A year spent commuting to Egypt led to the writing of Orphan of the Sun, Gill's first book for Bloomsbury, and subsequently to the Egyptian Chronicles series.
