The Barefoot Book of Giants, Ghosts and Goblins - Hardcover, Children Book by Barefoot Books

Let´s go on action packed adventure, meeting giants, ghosts and goblins from all over the world!
“Matthews’s writing is clear and fluid.... Vibrant colors, varied format and attractive design make this a visually appealing addition.” — School Library Journal chiller

The heroes and heroines of myth and folklore always have to overcome extraordinary challenges - and more often than not, these challenges involve a giant, a ghost, or a goblin. In this action-packed anthology, young readers will meet a very unusual Chinese ghost, a Norwegian giant who keeps his heart in a secret hiding place, and many other colorful and engaging characters. John Matthews’ lively text is magnificently illustrated throughout by Giovanni Manna.
