Description

Excerpt from A Book of Giants, Tales of Very Tall Men of Myth, Legend, History, and Science Thanks are due to the Frederick A. Stokes Company for permission to use, in Part III, three tales from volumes published by them: Chapter XX, The Biter Bit, from "Hero Tales and Legends of the Serbians," by Vojislav M. Petrovic; Chapter XXI, The Peach's Son, from "Myths and Legends of Japan," by F. Hadland Davis; and Chapter XXIII, The Stone Giantess, from "The Myths of the North American Indians," by Lewis Spence. In a number of cases the text of the original romance or "history" has been followed as closely as possible, to retain the flavor of the old tales.
