The Selfish Giant Audiobook Summary
A perennial classic that is sure to inspire a new generation of parents and children.
After seven years, the Giant has nothing left to say to his friend the Cornish ogre, and so he returns home to his castle–only to find that in his absence, the children have been playing in his beautiful garden. At once the selfish Giant builds a high wall to keep the children out of the garden. Winter turns into spring all over the country–but not in the selfish Giant’s garden. The trees refuse to bloom and the birds refuse to sing; they miss the children. The selfish Giant lies shivering in his large bed while Hail, Snow, North Wind, and Frost dance across the garden. But one morning the Giant hears a beautiful noise–what could it be?
