Jack has grown up hearing his father telling me stories about his "many-great" grandfather-Jack- who defeated many giants. Jack dreams of being a giant slayer expect no one has actually seen a giant.
Then one stormy night (it is raining dirt, not rain!), Jack witnesses his own father, their newborn calf and all their crops being snatched by some giants. Now Jack has the chance to prove he is a worthy giant slayer!
Aspects of the original tale are included plus hints of other folk tales.
Very clever, creative and exciting!
