The Secret History of Giants

46 pp. | Candlewick | September, 2008 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7636-4047-7 $16.99
(4) 4-6 Purportedly a collection of information gathered by the "Order of the Golden Quills," this book features page sections detailing aspects of the lives of giants from folktales and myths from around the world. The text, sometimes ornately scripted, is accompanied by intricately detailed illustrations and occasional fold outs. While individual sections are informative, the overall lack of cohesion is frustrating.
