Regular price $26.99
Sale price $26.99

Originally written by British-Irish author Oscar Wilde, this book tells the story of a group of children who decide to go play in the Giant's large garden. But he, a lonely and selfish being, decides to build a wall so high that the little ones cannot jump over it to play in his yard. What the Giant did not know is that from the moment that wall forbade the entry of children, spring would not come to his garden either.

Spanish Description: Clásico escrito originalmente por el autor británico-irlandés Oscar Wilde, este libro nos narra la historia de un grupo de niños que decide ir a jugar en el amplio jardín del Gigante. Pero él, un ser solitario y egoísta, decide levantar un muro tan alto que los pequeños no pueden saltarlo para jugar en su patio. Lo que el Gigante no sabía, es que desde el momento en que ese muro prohibiera la entrada de los niños, la primavera tampoco llegaría a su jardín.
