This is a book about Irish giants. Some of the giants in this book are quite tall, others are not. They have all been deeply affected by their gigantism. Gigantism is not just about being tall. It is a life-threatening medical condition that causes debilitating headaches, blindness, pain, and infertility. Journey with us to Northern Ireland to learn about the mythical and folkloric Irish giants of old. Discover the fascinating and heart-wrenching stories of those affected by this rare condition and the groundbreaking research that continues to uncover its mysteries. Together, we are in search of giants.

It's easy to believe that giants exist only in our imagination, but the truth is they are real, and they are our kin because we have had gigantism too.
