About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
LibriVox recording of The Giant-Killer - or the Battle Which All Must Fight by Charlotte Maria Tucker. Read in English by Lynne Thompson Ten year old twins. Constantine and Adolphus are chagrined to be shipped off to a private tutor in the country. Their lot appears worse when they meet their host and his family, consisting of a wife, son Aleck (who imagines himself the perfect student) and two little girls! On top of that, they are expected to study. Fun seems in short supply when they are not even allowed to pull the cow's tail, and there is no second dinner provided. This allegorical tale can be a simple, amusing story or a lesson to us all. - Summary by Lynne Thompson
