A Book of Giants: Tales of Very Tall Men of Myth, Legend, History, and Science.

Delve into a lively anthology that gathers the world’s most towering figures—from the biblical Anakites and Babylonian chaos‑beasts to Norse frost‑giants and the colossal stone guardians of Native lore. Each story is presented with a reverent ear for its original phrasing, letting the ancient voices speak while the narrator weaves them into a seamless listening experience.

The collection spans myth, legend, and even early scientific curiosities, showcasing giants who once challenged gods, held up heavens, or simply roamed wild forests. Readers hear of daring encounters, such as a giant’s love for a mortal woman, and of heroic contests that pit these massive beings against clever champions. Yet the book also reflects on how these awe‑inspiring creatures have been reduced over time to circus attractions or medical footnotes.

Listening to these tales offers a glimpse into humanity’s fascination with size and strength, inviting you to imagine a world where the ordinary was once measured against the extraordinary.
