London: Hutchinson Junior Books. 1968.
First edition. 184x120mm. pp. 184. Grey cloth, spine lettered in red. Original illustrated dustjacket. Apart from some light shelfwear and a little foxing to the edges, this is in excellent condition throughout. The Giant under the Snow was John Gordon's first novel and established him as a striking new voice in children's supernatural fiction. It concerns mystery dogs, lost treasure and epic battles between good and evil. Gordon moved to East Anglia from County Durham as a child and the strange flat land of the Fens and its strong sense of folkloric tradition was an important influence on his writing from the very start.
