A re-creation of the tale, Jack, the Giant-killer, set in 20th century Canada. "The Jack of this version ... is Jacky Rowan--a young woman who leads a fairly predictable life until a brush with magic gives her the ability to see into the Faerie world that exists alongside our world.... Soon she becomes a guerrilla in a war of magic as the darker denizens of Faerie... struggle to destroy the brighter creatures of magic. If they succeed, all the city, human and otherworldly alike, will be plunged into nightmare. ...[T]here is a quest to undertake, a treasure to claim, giants to defeat. But unlike the villains of childhood stories, these Faerie creatures are real, and deadly. And there is no guarantee of ending happily ever after." -- Jacket flap.

English Fairy Tales By Joseph Jacobs A word or two as to our title seems necessary. We have called our stories Fairy Tales though few of them speak of fairies. The same remark applies to the collection of the Brothers Grimm and to all the other European collections, which contain exactly the same classes of tales as ours. Yet our stories are what the little ones mean when they clamour for "Fairy Tales," and this is the only name which they give to them. One cannot imagine a child saying, "Tell us a folk-tale, nurse," or "Another nursery tale, please, grandma." As our book is intended for the little ones, we have indicated its contents by the name they use. The words "Fairy Tales" must accordingly be taken to include tales in which occurs something "fairy," something extraordinary--fairies, giants, dwarfs, speaking animals. It must be taken also to cover tales in which what is extraordinary is the stupidity of some of the actors.
