When Giants Stumble into Ordinary Lives
In a forgotten corner of Britain-a place lost between the reign of King Coel and the coming of Arthur-lies the Little Kingdom. Here, in the village of Ham, lives a farmer named Giles. He's no hero from ancient legends-just a grumpy, practical man who tends his fields, minds his business, and occasionally grumbles about his neighbors. His dog Garm is equally ordinary, prone to exaggeration and easily excited. Nothing about Giles suggests greatness. He has no special talents, no magical abilities, and absolutely no interest in adventures. His worth is measured by how well he tends his fields, not by feats of daring. But fate has a peculiar sense of humor. One night, a remarkably dim-witted giant stumbles into the vicinity of Ham. This enormous figure isn't malicious-just oblivious-trampling crops and causing havoc simply because he doesn't notice what's beneath his feet. When the giant approaches Giles's farm, our reluctant hero happens to have his blunderbuss at hand. One startled shot later, and the confused giant flees, believing himself attacked by particularly vicious insects. Just like that, ordinary Giles finds himself celebrated throughout the village. With each retelling, his accidental encounter transforms into a tale of deliberate courage. The gap between what actually happened and what people believe has opened-and through this gap, legends are born.
