Synopsis

Off the coast of Ireland there lies an island. It looks just like a giant sleeping in the sea. But what if it really is a giant - and what if, one day, the sleeping giant wakes up?

The Sleeping Giant, first published in 1991, quickly became a huge favourite with children all over Ireland and it hit the annual bestseller lists again when the paperback edition was published in 1998. The O'Brien Press are delighted to bring out this new edition for a new generation of children to enjoy.

Media Reviews

remains one of the high achievements of picture-book art and storytelling: words
and pictures wonderfully combine to create a world where elements of the traditional and the modern are attractively brought together to provide a magical reading and visual experience

-- Robert Dunbar

A gem ... Fitzpatrick's lovely watercolour illustrations are filled with funny, quirky details and match the text perfectly.

A delightful, satisfying, highly recommended story which will see many a young child to trouble-free sleep for years to come.

-- Clodagh Corcoran * Books Ireland *

Every child will love this delicate picture book about the mayhem created when the giant wakes and takes a walk.
