Giants have a bad name, the author says, and very few of them are of the Beanstalk sort. To prove it she retells tales from many traditions: the giant and the herdboy, the giants’ ship, how the giants got the best of Thor, the cunning of Fin’s wife, Jack and the giant Riverrath, the giants’ porridge pot and the giant who rode on the Ark.
