Duff and his best friend Simon do everything together-they get chickenpox together, miss school together, and now that they're mostly better, they convalesce together. Convalescing to them means spending the day in the playground acting out Jack the Giant Killer, a play they've seen on TV. But when a neighbour looks out the window to see one truant boy chasing another with a sword, she immediately thinks the worst. Soon the police and ambulance are on the scene, and the whole neighborhood is in an uproar. Duff the Giant Killer is a lively, humorous tale that traces the effects of too-vivid imaginations, in children and adults alike.

Excerpt from Jack the Giant-KillerAnd we read that some emperors are feasting in company at their splendid revels, while another is torn from his throne and carried away by a furious and angry foe, by a giant of the race which has filled the world with such terror in its time. Of late a young giant of that very tribe has marched through our own streets; a giant at play, it is true, and feeding his morbid appetite with purses, chains, and watches, and iron park railings; but who shall say that he may not perhaps grow impatient as time goes on, and cry for other food?About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
