In mock-heroic verse, Percival Leigh retells the deeds of Jack in the days of King Arthur, when every cave held a giant: his birth and boyhood, the slaying of the giant Cormoran and the feasts and fights that follow. Asides and puns poke fun at Victorian manners along the way.

Comic verse from the circle of Punch, for children and the adults reading to them. Download the free EPUB.
