Two Giants

Description

Could a pair of socks help the Two Giants become friends again? The Two Giants live in a part of the world where everything is perfect and they are the best of friends ... until they quarrel. Then their beautiful world becomes dark and miserable. What will it take for them to become friends again? Could it be something to do with their prized socks? A wonderful story told with warmth and humour about the power that friendship has to transform the world around us.
