This book has received three major prizes, including the Grand Prize for Children's Literature. Now published for the first time in softcover. After finding a huge tooth on the docks, English explorer Archibald Leopold Ruthmore sets out to seek the race of giants to whom the tooth belongs and discovers nine giants, the survivors of a singularly gentle and kindly race. He lives among them for ten months, and on returning home he makes a mistake that he regrets forever - he writes a book revealing their existence and location.
