A poor boy... a handful of magical beans... a beanstalk... an army of giants... It's a story every child knows... Or is it? From the mind of Jonathan Pageau and a storytelling tradition older than the Brothers Grimm comes Jack and the Fallen Giants. This numinous retelling of a beloved classic allows modern readers to reclaim the beauty of this well-beloved fairy tale through insightful storytelling and iconic illustrations. Like all great fairy tales, Jack and the Fallen Giants is written to be enjoyed by children, but contains hidden treasures for readers of all ages. The book is beautifully illustrated by Eloise Scherrer. As a young artist, Eloise was deeply inspired by the works of J.R.R. Tolkien and has spent her career giving shape and color to the best of European fantasy literature. Her attention to depth, textures, movement, and light creates whimsical and vivid illustrations that draw the reader into a realm of enchantment and imagination. Jack and the Fallen Giants is the second volume of a series of eight fairy tale books called Tales for Once & Ever, written by Jonathan Pageau. Together, these stories weave an enchanting tapestry of well-known characters and narratives, ushering modern readers into a fairy tale world worthy of our great heritage.
