Hi,

I have another question, on behalf of our children's librarian.

A patron is looking for a story she read when she was a child (1970's). It's about three giants and a boy who has chicken pox or measles and has a secret.

This isn't much information but this happens to ring a bell with anyone let me know.

Thanks and TGIF!

I don't know how helpful this will be, but Bobby Norfolk (storyteller
extraordinaire) has performed this story at our public library. I don't
recall the original title or author, but it looks like you might be able
to reach Bobby through this web address http://bobbynorfolk.com/

Probably:

David L. Harrison, Phillipe Fix (Ill.), The Book of Giant Stories, 1972, winner of the 1973 Young People's Christopher Award. "Mighty giants meet a down-to-earth boy in the 1972 Christopher Award-winning The Book of Giant Stories by David L. Harrison, illus. by Philippe Fix. In each of the three tales, the villains end up overshadowed by good sense and practical wisdom. Fix creates a forbidding landscape of craggy trees, fern-filled forests and darkened lairs."

Hope this helps,
Koralleen

This is it! The story is called "The Little Boy's Secret". Myself and our
patron appreciate your reply.
