"On the surface this is a story about a lonely bitter giant who happens to possess a beautiful garden. When he discovers that children are playing there he puts a wall around it out of pure orneriness. In true fairy tale fashion, this backfires on him as Winter and her friends Snow and Frost decide to take up permanent residence and nothing will bloom anymore - not much of a garden, eh? Long story short, the giant has a not very surprising change of heart. It's all a very typical fairy tale right up to the end. He becomes fixated on one little boy - the one he loved most of all 'because he had kissed him'. And then we have stigmata and death. Sounds jolly, right? And, in spite of myself, I love it! It's fairly morbid and mostly inappropriate for children. Also I'm not normally a fan of children's books that have an overtly religious message, but this is Oscar Wilde and he can get away with it all. I think this one little story speaks volumes about his inner turmoil and for that I love it. I also love Lisbeth Zwerger's accompanying illustrations - they are ethereal and a little unsettling and therefor fit perfectly with the story."
