    About this ebook

    They're big, mean, and shudderingly horrible—and that's about all that the giants and trolls of mythology have in common. Some have several heads. Some have only one eye—or lots of eyes! You wouldn't want to cross paths with any of them. But what if they crossed paths with each other? Who would win in a battle? Which one is the strongest of all?

    Meet the ten most ferocious and gruesome of these mythical beasts, including:

    ● the three-headed warrior
    ● colossal cannibals
    ● the frost giant
    ● human-eating trolls

    Find out about each giant or troll's features and skills, where in the world they come from, how they rank compared to one another, and how you might defeat them if you ever strayed into their remote realms.

      Deer Man By Geoffroy Delorme Review – Life In The Wilderness

      Apr 13, 2022

      There’s a dreamy moment halfway through Geoffroy Delorme’s brief, sensuous book in which one of the young deer he gets to know curls up beside him, its head resting on his leg. The image is both touchingly familiar and surreal. A couple of walkers no
