Fig’s Giant on Jackanory January 13, 2007

Geraldine McCaughrean – new website August 30, 2006
The author of my first commissioned work, multi-award winning, Geraldine McCaughrean seems to have a new website.
Here’s what she says about Fig’s Giant:
“It’s Gulliver in Lilliput… but seen through the eyes of a Lilliputian child. A first picture book by JAGO – the newest, most talked-about talent on the art scene”
Pollution hits Neverland in Peter Pan, the Sequel August 30, 2006
It is a book that has been one of the best-kept secrets in theliterary world, its contents zealously guarded by legally bindingconfidentiality agreements. Those in the know were sworn to secrecy,while its eventual publication is due to attract much ceremony.
But now, just six weeks before readers around the world are due tolearn what happens to Peter Pan, Wendy and the Lost Boys, the lid hasbeen lifted – if only partially – on the contents of Peter Pan inScarlet, the long-awaited and officially sanctioned sequel to J MBarrie’s children’s classic.

Bridget’s Review
Based on the Lilliput adventure from Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels, the story centres on Fig, a Lilliputian girl, who befriends and defends the giant, Gulliver. A delightful book… McCaughrean stays within the spirit and detail of Swift’s story, whilst adding the delightfully feisty small girl Fig, and her dog Tolgo.
