Giant Under the Snow


Giant Under the Snow

Three children unwittingly awaken a sleeping giant and unleash powerful ancient forces in this classic fantasy story, now republished for a new generation of readers.

Three children find an ornate Celtic buckle. To them it's treasure, a fantastic find. They have no idea that it has awakened a giant who has lain at rest for centuries. Little do they know that an evil warlord and his Leathermen have also awaited this moment, this chance to wield their deadly power.

In a chilling climax full of menace and suspense, a final, breathtaking battle must be waged between good and evil.

This beautifully written, evocative fantasy novel, first published in 1968, will transport a new generation of readers to an intensely atmospheric world where imagination is boundless.
