Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - One of the most beautiful stories ever told
As a child, I was enchanted by this wonderful book. Now I have my own children, I am happy to be able to read it to them and they also love it. A selfish giant won't let any children play in his garden, until he meets a very special little boy.

It was also one of the saddest, yet most life-affirming and honest endings I had ever read. In a way, it was books like these that got me interested ... Read More
