Description

Petit is the son of the Ogre King, and the littlestgiant in the royal clan.

Scarcely larger than a mere human, he is the latestsign of the family's rapid degeneration, which makes each generation smallerthan the one before.

His father wants him killed as an embarrassment, but hismother sees in him the possible regeneration of the family lineage, since hecould mate with a human, just as the Founder of their lineage once did. Confused, she confides in great Aunt Desdée, the oldest of their clan,who was once dishonored because of her love for the humans, whom the Ogresconsider little more than labor and food.

But contrary to her guidance, shedecides to raise Petit in the family traditions, including the violent impulsesthat this entails.

So Petit grows into manhood, torn by the hunger he inheritedfrom his upbringing and the sympathetic education he received from AuntDesdée . . . will he find his place in this world divided between humansand giants, neither of which truly accept him? And will he survive the voraciousappetite of his own monstrous family?

A dark fantasy breathtakingly illustratedlike a grown-up Disney feature for the Game of Thronesaudience.
