This reading all of it really is wonderful ... that's true . I am only hearing this story for the first time but would have loved to have known it when my son was little
Praise you Jesus..🙏😢 it's 1am now, I've been awake due to a toothache, but after listening to this story, the pain has gone. I'm not a religious person but this is what happened. Praise you Jesus!🙏😢
This is what I gather: This story is a Christian allegory, even more symbolic than C.S. Lewis' The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. The boy represents Jesus (crucifixion wounds; going away and then appearing again like the resurrection of Christ). The giant's garden represents the biblical Garden of Eden from the book of Genesis. The giant dies because he has lived a long life; he has grown elderly and it is his time. The story's message is about giving to others, about the importance of sharing. Also, there's a charming animated version of the story, made in 1971: ua-cam.com/video/8jtLTS7T8cc/v-deo.html
Sir John Gielgud had such a beautiful voice, one wants the narration to last longer, we are privileged to still be able to hear him.Thank you🌻
I used to read this to my children, who are all quite grown up now. This magnificent reading reduced me to tears - how beautiful!
