When Angus MacAskill was still just a boy, he began to grow...and
grow...and...grow! Known far and wide as the Cape Breton Giant, Angus
was loved by his neighbours as much for his beautiful singing voice as
for his renowned strength. But as much as Angus loved his little town of
St. Ann's, Cape Breton, he decided to leave and seek fortune and
adventure.
With heartfelt text from critically acclaimed author Tom Ryan and
meticulously researched and joyful illustrations from Christopher Hoyt
(A is for Adventure), A Giant Man from a Tiny Town tells the story
of a remarkable man who travelled the world performing for crowds, but
never stopped longing to return to the place he loved the best: his Cape
Breton home.
