"This book is about England's very first visitor from Outer Space. It is the story of how he got his name and how, helped by the smallest of girls, he became The Biggest Hero England Ever Had."
When, in the Year of our Lord 1103, something very large crash-lands in the forest, Simpkins Sampkins the poacher gets the shock of his life. He has just seen a man with blue and green hair, and a face that glows in the dark like the moon. He is also the size of several large trees. So Simpkins Sampkins runs away. It falls to Tilly the miller's daughter to protect "Big George" from the frightened people around him - who are prepared to attack anything they don't understand. But there is something wonderful about George that will, in the end, solve all problems . . .
A delightfully funny story, written and illustrated with a light touch.
