Mr. Giant and the Beastly Baron

After Happily Ever After

by Tony Bradman, Sarah Warburton (Illustrations)

The poor giant has emerged from his various encounters with Jack rather bruised and battered, and terrified of small boys. And actually he wasn't as bad as Jack made out. In fact, the giant is quite nice. Mr. Giant settles down in a small village where he's happy (and the locals pretend not to notice he's a giant), but things start to go wrong when a new lord turns up. The beastly baron is short and very nasty, and bullies everyone, including Mr. Giant! Can Mr. Giant overcome his fears and save himself and his friends by being terrifying?

The Giant is trying to turn over a new leaf after his run-in with Jack, but a greedy Baron who bullies his friends might make him revert back to hi sold ways.

This is a cute and humorous retelling for early and reluctant readers.
