"I would rather that you should discover that for yourself," said Mrs. Roby. "If the kernel of an allegory be good, it is worth the trouble of cracking the shell" "Oh! but I hate all trouble," cried Adolphus, "above all, the trouble of thinking!" "Take care, take care," laughed little Laura, "or we shall suspect that you have been caught by Giant Sloth." CHAPTER IV. GIANT SELFISHNESS. "Do you know, mamma," said Laura the next day, as she and her sister sat alone with their mother, the boys being at lessons in the study, "do you know that I did not feel inclined to get up when I was called, but the clock began to strike, which put Giant Sloth into my head, and up I jumped in a minute!" "I am glad that you made such practical use of my little tale," replied Mrs. Roby with a smile. "But mamma, --if I might say something," began Bertha, then hesitated and paused "Say anything that you please, my dear." "I almost wondered at your beginning with only Giant Sloth; that seems such a little fault compared with the great ones of the Probyns. Constantine did not seem hit at all, for he is active enough in mischief" "I repeat that I hit no one," replied her mother. "Oh !--but--you know what I mean, mamma; I should have liked something very-- very--" Bertha's face had a puzzled look, for she knew not how to express her meaning, "I should have liked some story that would have made them know themselves, and hate thenfaults as every one else must hate them! I would have had a horrible Giant Selfishness!" she added, her manner becoming more excited as she spoke. "You look upon selfishness then as their grand enemy!" "Oh! mamma can anything be plainer--...

Jack The Giant-Killer And Beauty & The Beast - Illustrated by R. Anning Bell (The Banbury Cross Series) by Grace Rhys Pdf
The Banbury Cross Series was a collection of 12 volumes of books edited by Grace Rhys and published in London by Dent in the 1890s. Each book is attractively illustrated with full page and partial page pen and ink drawings in a classic Art Nouveau style by leading artists of the era. This title, Jack the Giant-Killer and Beauty & the Beast is accompanied by the sophisticated black and white open line work of Bell. His drawings perfectly convey the wickedness of the giant and the gentleness and compassion of Beauty. About the Illustrator: Robert Anning Bell (1863 - 1933) was an English artist and painter. He and a group of fellow artist-craftsmen brought about the last bloom of the Pre-Raphaelite movement. As well as painting in oil and watercolour, he also worked in stained glass and mosaic. Bell's illustrations are close in style to his contemporary Charles Ricketts. Many of the earliest children's books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Pook Press are working to republish these classic works in affordable, high quality editions, using the original text and artwork so these works can delight another generation of children.

JACK THE GIANT KILLER - An English Tale of Magic and Awe by Anon E. Mouse Pdf
ISSN: 2397-9607 Issue 302 In this 302nd issue of the Baba Indaba’s Children's Stories series, Baba Indaba narrates the Conish/Welsh story of “JACK THE GIANT KILLER” This tale is set during the reign of King Arthur and tells of a young Cornish farmer's son named Jack who is not only strong but so clever he easily confounds the learned with his penetrating wit. Jack encounters a cattle-eating giant called Cormoran (Cornish: 'The Giant of the Sea') and lures him to his death in a pit trap. Jack is dubbed 'Jack the Giant-Killer' for this feat and receives not only the giant's wealth, but a sword and belt to commemorate the event. In the second part, a man-eating giant named Blunderbore vows vengeance for Cormoran's death and carries Jack off to an enchanted castle. Jack manages to slay Blunderbore and his brother Rebecks. He also frees three ladies held captive in the giant's castle. More adventures follow in England and Wales with Jack using his wit to outfox the Giants everytime and rid the land of the terror the presence the giants bring about. In his adventures Jack collects more magical icons which help achieve invisibility and other super-natural states – you can see where modern-day video games get their plots from. In jack’s last adventure an elderly man directs him to an enchanted castle belonging to the giant Galigantus, or Galligantua. But what happens next? Is Galigantus Jack’s nemisis or does he succeed – again? If he does succeed are there any Giants left in Britain for Jack to conquer or does he have to go abroad to find more? Or……does Jack finally meet his match with a comely maiden, or maybe a beautiful princess? Download and read the story to find out what happens to Jack.
