A tale that humorously reminds us that to make an enemy flee, ruse is often more effective than brute strength.

Far away, in Italy, a gigantic child of stone was erected in the middle of the town square. One day, people came running, terrified. They cried, "Run away, the enemy is coming! Run!" That night, an old lady, who was the only one left in the village, asked the giant to help her… From the strategy for scaring off the enemy to the illustrations, everything in this book is funny and endearing.
