Description

The BFG tells the imaginative story of a young girl named Sophie who is whisked away one night by a giant. Unlike other giants, the Big Friendly Giant (BFG) is gentle and kind. He speaks in amusingly jumbled language and catches dreams, which he then shares with sleeping children. Sophie and the BFG form a strong friendship and together they devise a plan to save the world from the other, more malevolent giants. 'Human beans is not really believing in giants, is they? Human beans is not thinking we exist.' On a dark, silvery moonlit night, Sophie is snatched from her bed by a giant. Luckily it is the Big Friendly Giant, the BFG, who only eats snozzcumbers and glugs frobscottle. But there are other giants in Giant Country. Fifty foot brutes who gallop far and wide every night to find human beans to eat. Can Sophie and her friend the BFG stop them?
