The Barefoot Book of Giants, Ghosts and Goblins is John Matthew's retelling of nine traditional supernatural tales from around the world. 5 stories out of the 9 stories are from non-European cultures, specifically Cheyenne, Hausa, Chinese, Evenk and aboriginal Australian. The illustrator is Giovanni Manna.
In 'The Bunyip', a group of Australian youths capture a young aquatic monster...
In 'Little Ooyani', the Evenk hero makes himself iron wings to confront the cloud-dwelling demon who devoured his people.
In 'A-Man-Among-Men', a Hausa tale about the origin of thunder and lightning, two giants battle in the sky.
