Hector Fox And The Giant Quest

"I wish fairytales were real," sighed little Lucy. And that was all it took for Hector and his band of merry friends to go in search of a real giant. There was a rumor that a new, enormous, shadowy stranger was living in the Forbidden Marsh beyond the forest . . . and since it was not a bear it must be a fairytale giant!
