A powerful and moving tale written in a distinctive style that invokes the fables and parables of old, with themes as tragically modern as today's breaking news. A boy delivers a very important package to an elderly man. When the man refuses to accept it, the boy demands to know why. The man answers with a tale of a traveler who brings a village a grim warning and a skeptical orphan the traveler takes under his wing. The warning disrupts the village, and the orphan begins to wonder if there are worse things than the giant they say comes. From $5.99 SHOP NOW /
