Summary "The Book of Friendly Giants" by Eunice Fuller is a children's book written in the early 20th century. The book seeks to rewrite the narrative around giants, depicting them as kind and friendly creatures rather than the cruel beings often portrayed in traditional tales. It introduces characters like Ivan, a herdboy, and various giants who are depicted in whimsical stories that emphasize friendship and adventure." "The opening of the book begins by defending giants against their negative reputation, suggesting that most stories misrepresent them due to fear and misunderstanding. It introduces Ivan, a lonely herdboy who tends sheep and dreams of a more exciting life. One day he encounters a giant named Costan, who is wounded and in need of help. After assisting Costan, Ivan is invited on an adventure into Giantland, where he experiences a world of friendly giants and extraordinary merriment. The stage is set for a series of adventures rooted in kindness and curiosity, showcasing the unexpected friendships that can arise between humans and giants."
