Jack The Giant Killer - Etc.usf.edu
Jack the Giant Killerby Geoffrey of Monmouth, of Corineus the TrojanIn the reign of the famous King Arthur,there lived near the Land’s End of England, inthe county of Cornwall, a worthy farmer, whohad an only son named Jack. Jack was a boyof a bold temper; he took pleasure in hearingor reading stories of wizards, conjurers, giants,and fairies, and used to listen eagerly while hisfather talked of the great deeds of the braveknights of King Arthur’s Round Table. WhenJack was sent to take care of the sheep andoxen in the fields, he used to amuse himselfwith planning battles, sieges, and the meansto conquer or surprise a foe. He was above thecommon sports of children; but hardly anyone could equal him at wrestling; or, if he metwith a match for himself in strength, his skilland address always made him the victor.In those days there lived on St. Michael’sMount of Cornwall, which rises out of thesea at some distance from the main land, ahuge giant. He was eighteen feet high, andthree yards round; and his fierce and savagelooks were the terror of all his neighbours. Hedwelt in a gloomy cavern on the very top ofthe mountain, and used to wade over to themain land in search of his prey. When he camenear, the people left their houses; and afterhe had glutted his appetite upon their cattle,he would throw half-a-dozen oxen upon hisback, and tie three times as many sheep andhogs round his waist, and so march back tohis own abode.The giant had done this for many years,and the coast of Cornwall was greatly hurt byhis thefts, when Jack boldly resolved to destroyhim. He therefore took a horn, a shovel,pickaxe, and a dark lantern, and early in a longwinter’s evening he swam to the mount. Therehe fell to work at once, and before morninghe had dug a pit twenty-two feet deep, andalmost as many broad. He covered it overwith sticks and straw, and strewed some of theearth over them, to make it look just like solidground. He then put his horn to his mouth,— —Created for Lit2Go on the web at fcit.usf.edu
Jack The Giant KillerGeoffrey of Monmouth, of Corineus the Trojanand blew such a loud and long tantivy, that thegiant awoke and came towards Jack, roaringlike thunder: “You saucy villain, you shall paydearly for breaking my rest; I will broil you formy breakfast.”He had scarcely spoken these words, whenhe came advancing one step farther; but thenhe tumbled headlong into the pit, and his fallshook the very mountain. “O ho, Mr. Giant!”said Jack, looking into the pit, “have youfound your way so soon to the bottom? Howis your appetite now? Will nothing serve youfor breakfast this cold morning but broilingpoor Jack?”The giant now tried to rise, but Jack struckhim a blow on the crown of the head with hispickaxe, which killed him at once. Jack thenmade haste back to rejoice his friends with thenews of the giant’s death.When the justices of Cornwall heard ofthis valiant action, they sent for Jack, anddeclared that he should always be called Jackthe Giant Killer; and they also gave him asword and belt, upon which was written inletters of gold:“This is the valiant CornishmanWho slew the Giant Cormoran.”The news of Jack’s exploits soon spreadover the western parts of England; and anothergiant, called Old Blunderbore, vowed to haverevenge on Jack, if it should ever be his fortuneto get him into his power. This giant keptan enchanted castle in the midst of a lonelywood. About four months after the death ofCormoran, as Jack was taking a journey intoWales, he passed through this wood; and as hewas very weary, he sat down to rest by the sideof a pleasant fountain, and there he fell into adeep sleep. The giant came to the fountain forwater just at this time, and found Jack there;and as the lines on Jack’s belt showed who hewas, the giant lifted him up and laid him gentlyupon his shoulder to carry him to his castle: butas he passed through the thicket, the rustlingof the leaves waked Jack; and he was sadlyafraid when he found himself in the clutches ofBlunderbore. Yet this was nothing to his frightsoon after; for when they reached the castle, hebeheld the floor covered all over with the skullsand bones of men and women. The giant tookhim into a large room where lay the hearts andlimbs of persons who had been lately killed;and he told Jack, with a horrid grin, that men’shearts, eaten with pepper and vinegar, were hisnicest food; and also, that he thought he shouldmake a dainty meal on his heart.When he had said this, he locked Jack upin that room, while he went to fetch anothergiant who lived in the same wood, to enjoy adinner off Jack’s flesh with him. While he wasaway, Jack heard dreadful shrieks, groans, andcries, from many parts of the castle; and soonafter he heard a mournful voice repeat theselines:“Haste, valiant stranger, haste away,Lest you become the giant’s prey.On his return he’ll bring another,— —Created for Lit2Go on the web at fcit.usf.edu
Jack The Giant KillerGeoffrey of Monmouth, of Corineus the TrojanStill more savage than his brother:A horrid, cruel monster, who,Before he kills, will torture you.Oh valiant stranger, haste away,Or you’ll become these giants’ prey.”This warning was so shocking to poorJack, that he was ready to go mad. He ran tothe window, and saw the two giants comingalong arm in arm. This window was right overthe gates of the castle. “Now,” thought Jack,“either my death or freedom is at hand.”There were two strong cords in the room:Jack made a large noose with a slip-knotat the ends of both these, and as the giantswere coming through the gates, he threw theropes over their heads. He then made theother ends fast to a beam in the ceiling, andpulled with all his might till he had almoststrangled them. When he saw that they wereboth quite black in the face, and had not theleast strength left, he drew his sword, and sliddown the ropes; he then killed the giants, andthus saved himself from the cruel death theymeant to put him to.Jack next took a great bunch of keys fromthe pocket of Blunderbore, and went into thecastle again. He made a strict search throughall the rooms; and in them found three ladiestied up by the hair of their heads, and almoststarved to death. They told him that theirhusbands had been killed by the giants, whohad then condemned them to be starved todeath, because they would not eat the flesh oftheir own dead husbands. “Ladies,” said Jack,“I have put an end to the monster and hiswicked brother; and I give you this castle andall the riches it contains, to make you someamends for the dreadful pains you have felt.”He then very politely gave them the keys ofthe castle, and went further on his journey toWales.As Jack had not taken any of the giant’sriches for himself, and so had very littlemoney of his own, he thought it best to travelas fast as he could. At length he lost his way,and when night came on he was in a lonelyvalley between two lofty mountains, where hewalked about for some hours without seeingany dwelling place, so he thought himself verylucky at last, in finding a large and handsomehouse.He went up to it boldly, and knockedloudly at the gate, when, to his great terror andsurprise, there came forth a monstrous giantwith two heads. He spoke to Jack very civilly,for he was a Welsh giant, and all the mischiefhe did was by private and secret malice, underthe show of friendship and kindness. Jack toldhim that he was a traveller who had lost hisway, on which the huge monster made himwelcome, and led him into a room, wherethere was a good bed to pass the night in. Jacktook off his clothes quickly; but though hewas so weary he could not go to sleep. Soonafter this he heard the giant walking backwardand forward in the next room, and saying tohimself:“Though here you lodge with me thisnight,— —Created for Lit2Go on the web at fcit.usf.edu
Jack The Giant KillerGeoffrey of Monmouth, of Corineus the TrojanYou shall not see the morning light;My club shall dash your brains outquite.”“Say you so?” thought Jack; “are these yourtricks upon travellers? But I hope to prove ascunning as you.”Then getting out of bed, he groped aboutthe room, and at last found a large thick billet ofwood; he laid it in his own place in the bed, andthen hid himself in a dark corner of the room.In the middle of the night the giant came withhis great club, and struck many heavy blows onthe bed, in the very place where Jack had laidthe billet, and then he went back to his ownroom, thinking he had broken all his bones.Early in the morning, Jack put a bold face uponthe matter, and walked into the giant’s room tothank him for his lodgings. The giant startedwhen he saw him, and he began to stammerout, “Oh, dear me! Is it you? Pray, how did yousleep last night? Did you hear or see any thingin the dead of the night?”“Nothing worth speaking of,” said Jackcarelessly; “a rat, I believe, gave me three orfour slaps with his tail, and disturbed me alittle; but I soon went to sleep again.”The giant wondered more and more atthis; yet he did not answer a word, but wentto bring two great bowls of hasty-pudding fortheir breakfast. Jack wished to make the giantbelieve that he could eat as much as himself.So he contrived to button a leathern bag insidehis coat, and slipped the hasty-pudding intothis bag, while he seemed to put it into hismouth.When breakfast was over, he said to thegiant: “Now I will show you a fine trick; Ican cure all wounds with a touch; I could cutoff my head one minute, and the next, put itsound again on my shoulders: you shall seean example.” He then took hold of the knife,ripped up the leathern bag, and all the hastypudding tumbled out upon the floor.“Ods splutter hur nails,” cried the Welshgiant, who was ashamed to be outdone bysuch a little fellow as Jack, “hur can do thathurself.” So he snatched up the knife, plungedit into his stomach, and in a moment droppeddown dead.As soon as Jack had thus tricked the Welshmonster, he went farther on his journey; and afew days after he met with King Arthur’s onlyson, who had got his father’s leave to travelinto Wales, to deliver a beautiful lady from thepower of a wicked magician, who held her in hisenchantments. When Jack found that the youngprince had no servants with him, he begged leaveto attend him; and the prince at once agreed tothis, and gave Jack many thanks for his kindness.The prince was a handsome, polite, and braveknight, and so good-natured that he gave moneyto every body he met. At length he gave his lastpenny to an old woman, and then turned toJack, and said: “How shall we be able to get foodfor ourselves the rest of our journey?”“Leave that to me sir,” said Jack; “I willprovide for my prince.”Night now came on, and the prince beganto grow uneasy at thinking where they shouldlodge.— —Created for Lit2Go on the web at fcit.usf.edu
Jack The Giant KillerGeoffrey of Monmouth, of Corineus the Trojan“Sir,” said Jack, “be of good heart; twomiles farther there lives a large giant, whom Iknow well. He has three heads, and will fightfive hundred men, and make them fly beforehim.”“Alas!” replied the king’s son, “we hadbetter never have been born than meet withsuch a monster.”“My lord, leave me to manage him, andwait here in quiet till I return.” The prince nowstaid behind, while Jack rode on full speed.And when he came to the gates of the castle,he gave a loud knock. The giant, with a voicelike thunder, roared out: “Who is there?”And Jack made answer, and said: “No onebut your poor cousin Jack.”“Well,” said the giant, “what news, cousinJack?”“Dear uncle,” said Jack, “I have someheavy news.”“Pooh!” said the giant, “what heavy newscan come to me? I am a giant with three heads;and can fight five hundred men, and makethem fly before me.”“Alas!” said Jack, “Here is the king’s son,coming with two thousand men, to kill you, andto destroy the castle and all that you have.”“Oh, cousin Jack,” said the giant, “Thisis heavy news indeed! But I have a large cellarunder ground, where I will hide myself, andyou shall lock, and bar me in, and keep thekeys till the king’s son is gone.”Now when Jack had made the giant fast inthe vault, he went back and fetched the princeto the castle; they both made themselves merrywith the wine and other dainties that werein the house. So that night they rested verypleasantly, while the poor giant lay tremblingand shaking with fear in the cellar underground. Early in the morning, Jack gave theking’s son gold and silver out of the giant’streasure, and set him three miles forward onhis journey. He then went to let his uncle outof the hole, who asked Jack what he should givehim as a reward for saving his castle. “Why,good uncle,” said Jack, “I desire nothing butthe old coat and cap, with the old rusty swordand slippers, which are hanging at your bed’shead.”Then said the giant: “You shall have them;and pray keep them for my sake, for they arethings of great use: the coat will keep youinvisible, the cap will give you knowledge, thesword cut through anything, and the shoes areof vast swiftness; these may be useful to you inall times of danger, so take them with all myheart.”Jack gave many thanks to the giant, andthen set off to the prince. When he had comeup with the king’s son, they soon arrived at thedwelling of the beautiful lady, who was underthe power of a wicked magician. She receivedthe prince very politely, and made a noble feastfor him; and when it was ended, she rose, andwiping her mouth with a fine handkerchief,said: “My lord, you must submit to thecustom of my palace; to-morrow morning Icommand you to tell me on whom I bestowthis handkerchief or lose your head.” She thenwent out of the room.— —Created for Lit2Go on the web at fcit.usf.edu
Jack The Giant KillerGeoffrey of Monmouth, of Corineus the TrojanThe young prince went to bed verymournful: but Jack put on his cap ofknowledge, which told him that the ladywas forced, by the power of enchantment, tomeet the wicked magician every night in themiddle of the forest. Jack now put on his coatof darkness, and his shoes of swiftness, andwas there before her. When the lady came, shegave the handkerchief to the magician. Jackwith his sword of sharpness, at one blow, cutoff his head; the enchantment was then endedin a moment, and the lady was restored to herformer virtue and goodness.She was married to the prince on the nextday, and soon after went back with her royalhusband, and a great company, to the courtof King Arthur, where they were receivedwith loud and joyful welcomes; and thevaliant hero Jack, for the many great exploitshe had done for the good of his country,was made one of the Knights of the RoundTable. As Jack had been so lucky in all hisadventures, he resolved not to be idle for thefuture, but still to do what services he couldfor the honour of the king and the nation.He therefore humbly begged his majesty tofurnish him with a horse and money, thathe might travel in search of new and strangeexploits. “For,” said he to the king, “there aremany giants yet living in the remote partsof Wales, to the great terror and distress ofyour majesty’s subjects; therefore if it pleaseyou, sire, to favour me in my design, I willsoon rid your kingdom of these giants andmonsters in human shape.”Now when the king heard this offer, andbegan to think of the cruel deeds of theseblood-thirsty giants and savage monsters,he gave Jack every thing proper for such ajourney. After this Jack took leave of the king,the prince, and all the knights, and set off;taking with him his cap of knowledge, hissword of sharpness, his shoes of swiftness,and his invisible coat, the better to performthe great exploits that might fall in his way.He went along over high hills and loftymountains, and on the third day he came to alarge wide forest, through which his road led.He had hardly entered the forest, when ona sudden he heard very dreadful shrieks andcries. He forced his way through the trees, andsaw a monstrous giant dragging along by thehair of their heads a handsome knight and hisbeautiful lady. Their tears and cries melted theheart of honest Jack to pity and compassion;he alighted from his horse, and tying him toan oak tree he put on his invisible coat, underwhich he carried his sword of sharpness.When he came up to the giant, he madeseveral strokes at him, but could not reach hisbody, on account of the enormous height ofthe terrible creature, but he wounded his thighsin several places; and at length, putting bothhands to his sword, and aiming with all hismight, he cut off both the giant’s legs just belowthe garter; and the trunk of his body tumblingto the ground, made not only the trees shake,but the earth itself tremble with the force ofhis fall. Then Jack, setting his foot upon hisneck, exclaimed, “Thou barbarous and savage— —Created for Lit2Go on the web at fcit.usf.edu
Jack The Giant KillerGeoffrey of Monmouth, of Corineus the Trojanwretch, behold I come to execute upon theethe just reward for all thy crimes;” and instantlyplunged his sword into the giant’s body. Thehuge monster gave a hideous groan, and yieldedup his life into the hands of the victorious Jackthe Giant Killer, whilst the noble knight andthe virtuous lady were both joyful spectators ofhis sudden death and their deliverance.The courteous knight and his fair lady,not only returned Jack hearty thanks for theirdeliverance, but also invited him to theirhouse, to refresh himself after his dreadfulencounter, as likewise to receive a reward forhis good services.“No,” said Jack, “I cannot be at ease tillI find out the den that was the monster’shabitation.”The knight on hearing this grew verysorrowful, and replied, “Noble stranger, it istoo much to run a second hazard; this monsterlived in a den under yonder mountain, witha brother of his, more fierce and cruel thanhimself; therefore, if you should go thither,and perish in the attempt, it would be a heartbreaking thing to me and my lady; so let mepersuade you to go with us, and desist fromany farther pursuit.”“Nay,” answered Jack, “if there be another,even if there were twenty, I would shed the lastdrop of blood in my body before one of themshould escape my fury. When I have finishedthis task, I will come and pay my respects toyou.” So when they had told him where tofind them again, he got on his horse and wentafter the dead giant’s brother.Jack had not rode a mile and a half, beforehe came in sight of the mouth of the cavern; andnigh the entrance of it, he saw the other giantsitting on a huge block of fine timber, with aknotted iron club lying by his side, waitingfor his brother. His eyes looked like flames offire, his face was grim and ugly, and his cheeksseemed like two flitches of bacon; the bristles ofhis beard seemed to be thick rods of iron wire;and his long locks of hair hung down uponhis broad shoulders like curling snakes. Jackgot down from his horse, and turned him intoa thicket; then he put on his coat of darkness,and drew a little nearer to behold this figure,and said softly: “Oh, monster! Are you there?It will not be long before I shall take you fastby the beard.” The giant all this while couldnot see him, by reason of his invisible coat:so Jack came quite close to him, and struck ablow at his head with his sword of sharpness,but he missed his aim, and only cut off hisnose, which made him roar like loud claps ofthunder. And though he rolled his glaring eyesround on every side, he could not see who hadgiven him the blow; yet he took up his ironclub, and began to lay about him like one thatwas mad with pain and fury.“Nay,” said Jack, “if this be the case I willkill you at once.” So saying, he slipped nimblybehind him, and jumping upon the block oftimber, as the giant rose from it, he stabbedhim in the back; when, after a few howls, hedropped down dead.

Jack The Giant KillerGeoffrey of Monmouth, of Corineus the Trojanby a wagon which he hired for that purpose,with an account of all his exploits.When Jack had thus killed these twomonsters, he went into their cave in searchof their treasure: he passed through manyturnings and windings, which led him to aroom paved with freestone; at the end of itwas a boiling caldron, and on the right handstood a large table where the giants used todine. He then came to a window that wassecured with iron bars, through which he sawa number of wretched captives, who criedout when they saw Jack, “Alas! Alas! Youngman, you are come to be one among us inthis horrid den.”“I hope,” said Jack, “you will not stay herelong; but pray tell me what is the meaning ofyour being here at all?”“Alas!” said one poor old man, “I will tellyou, sir. We are persons that have been takenby the giants who hold this cave, and are kepttill they choose to have a feast, then one ofus is to be killed, and cooked to please theirtaste. It is not long since they took three forthe same purpose.”“Well,” said Jack, “I have given them sucha dinner that it will be long enough before theyhave any more.” The captives were amazed at hiswords. “You may believe me,” said Jack; “for Ihave killed them both with the edge of the sword,and have sent their large heads to the court ofKing Arthur, as marks of my great success.”To show them that what he said was true,he unlocked the gate, and set them all free.Then he led them to the great room, placedthem round the table, and set before them twoquarters of beef, with bread and wine; uponwhich they feasted to their fill. When supperwas over, they searched the giants’ coffers,and Jack shared the store in them among thecaptives, who thanked him for their escape.The next morning they set off to their homes,and Jack to the knight’s house, whom he hadleft with his lady not long before. It was justat the time of sunrise that Jack mounted hishorse to proceed on his journey.He arrived at the knight’s house, wherehe was received with the greatest joy by thethankful knight and his lady, who, in honourof Jack’s exploits, gave a grand feast, to whichall the nobles and gentry were invited. Whenthe company were assembled, the knightdeclared to them the great actions of Jack, andgave him, as a mark of respect, a fine ring, onwhich was engraved the picture of the giantdragging the knight and the lady by the hair,with this motto round it:“Behold, in dire distress were we,Under a giant’s fierce command;But gained our lives and liberty,From valiant Jack’s victorious hand.”Among the guests then present werefive aged gentlemen, who were fathers tosome of those captives who had been freedby Jack from the dungeon of the giants.

Jack The Giant KillerGeoffrey of Monmouth, of Corineus the Trojanthanks for the happiness he had caused tothem. After this the bowl went round, andevery one drank to the health and long lifeof the gallant hero. Mirth increased, andthe hall was filled with peals of laughter andjoyful cries.But, on a sudden, a herald, pale andbreathless with haste and terror, rushed intothe midst of the company, and told them thatThundel, a savage giant with two heads, hadheard of the death of his two kinsmen, andwas come to take his revenge on Jack; andthat he was now within a mile of the house;the people flying before him like chaff beforethe wind. At this news the very boldest of theguests trembled; but Jack drew his sword, andsaid: “Let him come, I have a rod for himalso. Pray, ladies and gentlemen, do me thefavour to walk into the garden, and you shallsoon behold the giant’s defeat and death.” Tothis they all agreed, and heartily wished himsuccess in his dangerous attempt.The knight’s house stood in the middle ofa moat, thirty feet deep and twenty wide, overwhich lay a drawbridge. Jack set men to workto cut the bridge on both sides, almost to themiddle; and then dressed himself in his coat ofdarkness, and went against the giant with hissword of sharpness. As he came close to him,though the giant could not see him, for hisinvisible coat, yet he found some danger wasnear, which made him cry out:“Fa, fe, fi, fo, fum,I smell the blood of an Englishman;Let him be alive, or let him be dead,I’ll grind his bones to make me bread.”“Say you so my friend?” said Jack, “youare a monstrous miller indeed.”“Art thou,” cried the giant, “the villain thatkilled my kinsmen? Then I will tear thee withmy teeth, and grind thy bones to powder.”“You must catch me first,” said Jack; andthrowing off his coat of darkness, and puttingon his shoes of swiftness, he began to run;the giant following him like a walking castle,making the earth shake at every step.Jack led him round and round the wallsof the house, that the company might see themonster; and to finish the work Jack ran overthe drawbridge, the giant going after him withhis club. But when the giant came to the middle,where the bridge had been cut on both sides,the great weight of his body made it break, andhe tumbled into the water, and rolled aboutlike a large whale. Jack now stood by the sideof the moat, and laughed and jeered at him,saying: “I think you told me, you would grindmy bones to powder. When will you begin?”The giant foamed at both his horrid mouthswith fury, and plunged from side to side of themoat; but he could not get out to have revengeon his little foe. At last Jack ordered a cart ropeto be brought to him. He then drew it over histwo heads, and by the help of a team of horses,dragged him to the edge of the moat, wherehe cut off the monster’s heads; and before heeither eat or drank, he sent them both to thecourt of King Arthur.— —Created for Lit2Go on the web at fcit.usf.edu
Jack The Giant KillerGeoffrey of Monmouth, of Corineus the TrojanHe then went back to the table with thecompany, and the rest of the day was spent inmirth and good cheer. After staying with theknight for some time, Jack grew weary of suchan idle life, and set out again in search of newadventures. He went over the hills and daleswithout meeting any, till he came to the footof a very high mountain. Here he knocked atthe door of a small and lonely house; and anold man, with a head as white as snow, let himin. “Good father” said Jack, “can you lodge atraveller who has lost his way?”“Yes,” said the hermit, “I can, if you willaccept such fare as my poor house affords.”Jack entered, and the old man set beforehim some bread and fruit for his supper.When Jack had eaten as much as he chose,the hermit said, “My son, I know you are thefamous conqueror of giants; now, on the top ofthis mountain is an enchanted castle, kept bya giant named Galligantus, who, by the helpof a vile magician, gets many knights into hiscastle, where he changes them into the shapeof beasts. Above all I lament the hard fate of aduke’s daughter, whom they seized as she waswalking in her father’s garden, and broughthither through the air in a chariot drawn bytwo fiery dragons, and turned her into theshape of a deer. Many knights have tried todestroy the enchantment, and deliver her; yetnone have been able to do it, by reason of twofiery griffins who guard the gate of the castle,and destroy all who come nigh. But as you,my son, have an invisible coat, you may passby them without being seen; and on the gatesof the castle, you will find engraved, by whatmeans the enchantment may be broken.”Jack promised, that in the morning,at the risk of his life he would break theenchantment: and after a sound sleep he aroseearly, put on his invisible coat, and got readyfor the attempt. When he had climbed to thetop of the mountain, he saw the two fierygriffins; but he passed between them withoutthe least fear of danger; for they could not seehim because of his invisible coat. On the castlegate he found a golden trumpet, under whichwere written these lines:“Whoever can this trumpet blow,Shall cause the giant’s overthrow.”As soon as Jack had read this, he seized thetrumpet, and blew a shrill blast which made thegates fly open and the very castle itself tremble.The giant and the conjurer now knew that theirwicked course was at an end, and they stood bitingtheir thumbs and shaking with fear. Jack, withhis sword of sharpness, soon killed the giant. Themagician was then carried away by a whirlwindand every knight and beautiful lady, who hadbeen changed into birds and beasts, returned totheir proper shapes. The castle vanished awaylike smoke and the head of the giant Galligantuswas sent to King Arthur. The knights and ladiesrested that night at the old man’s hermitage, andnext day they set out for the court.Jack then went up to the king, and gavehis majesty an account of all his fierce battles.Jack’s fame had spread through the whole— 10 —Created for Lit2Go on the web at fcit.usf.edu
