The Selfish Giant is a story about a giant who builds a high wall around his beautiful garden to prevent the local village children from playing in it. However, he is taught a valuable lesson when spring does not return and the garden remains in winter all year around. One morning the unusual sound of birdsong and the sight of a small, frail child trying to climb the tree reminds the giant how selfish he has been. He knocks down the wall, spring arrives and the giant is happy. More importantly, his beautiful garden is now free for all to enjoy.
