From the Publisher
While walking along the docks one morning in the autumn of 1849, Archibald Leopold Ruthmore purchased from a sailor something that was to change his life forever: an enormous tooth covered with strange engravings. Believing that it proved the existence of a race of giants, he set off on a journey that was to lead him into the depths of Asia ‹ and an extraordinary and tragic discovery. Brought to life by François Placeıs delicate and inspired watercolor illustrations, The Last Giants is destined to become a classic moral tale in the tradition of Gulliverıs Travels.
