Lamplighter Softcover: The Giant Killer

Meet Giant Sloth, Giant Selfishness, Giant Untruth, Giant Hate, and Giant Pride. These giants within are as wily and sneaky as they are huge and strong. Meet Fides, an honourable knight, whose job it is to slay these giants and others. He wishes to do so to please his King, with Whom he wishes to go soon to live. Fides is easily tricked by these giants, as he often underestimates them and their power, coming uncomfortably close to being destroyed by several. Only with the sword and shield given him by his King, and with the aid of his friend Conscience, does he narrowly gain the victory.

The Giant-Killer is considered one of A.L.O.E.'s finest works, and she intended it to be a teaching device designed to be read in a family setting in which parents can explain and supplement discussion of its truths. It is allegorical in nature, and is a story within a story in which a mother uses it to teach young people about the subtle, yet odious, sins of the heart.
