The Lonely Giant

The Lonely Giant is the story of a giant who was orphaned at a tender age and brought up in isolation by aged servants. At the age of eighteen the young Alfred embarks upon a search to find his lost family. Equipped only with the strict moral precepts inculcated by his Scots nurse, he quits his ramshackle castle to enter upon a series of adventures that take him across the breadth of medieval England. He meets a questing Knight, joins a circus, is robbed by a fair lady and confronts ogres and monsters before learning the dreadful truth about his origins. This revelation forces Alfred to make a radical change in his aspirations. He returns to the circus only to find that his friends have been ruined by a crooked businessman, but cleverly turns the tables and saves the situation. Alfred and his friends join forces to find a refuge for the winter. Overcoming more challenges and difficulties, they find a safe haven in an unexpected quarter. Eventually Alfred finds love, happiness and fulfillment in his own place.
