🗡️ The History of Jack the Giant Killer | Original Strange Fairy Tales and Other Stories
Step into the age of King Arthur, where giants roamed the land and a clever Cornish boy named Jack dared to face them all.

In this thrilling tale from Andrew Lang’s Red Fairy Book, Jack defeats monstrous foes with wit, courage, and a touch of trickery—rescuing captives, breaking spells, and even toppling an enchanted castle. A favorite of English folklore, this story blends adventure, dark fantasy, and gallows humor in equal measure.

🧙 Jack and the Giants
🏰 Jack the Giant Slayer (though this is a later adaptation)

About the story:
Dating back to 18th-century chapbooks, Jack the Giant Killer became especially popular during the Victorian era and was included by Andrew Lang in his celebrated Fairy Book series. Jack’s battles against grotesque, cannibalistic giants and deceitful magicians make this tale far darker and more action-packed than most familiar fairy tales.
