The Story of Jack and the Giants

In a rugged corner of Cornwall during King Arthur’s reign, a young farmer’s son named Jack spends his days tending sheep while dreaming of heroic deeds. Gifted with quick wit and a love for tales of giants and fairies, he outmatches other boys in wrestling and strategic games. When a massive, selfish giant begins terrorizing the countryside, stealing cattle and driving villagers from their homes, Jack decides enough is enough.

Armed only with a simple horn, a shovel and a pickaxe, he sets out for the giant’s craggy mount, planning a clever trap rather than a brute clash. Along the way he encounters startled shepherds, curious fairies, and hints of ancient courtly justice that suggest a larger world beyond his farm. Listeners will follow his daring preparations and the tense moments as he confronts the towering menace, discovering whether wit can outweigh sheer size.
