The giant's seven-league boots

This jigsaw puzzle made from poplar wood illustrates the French story of "Hop o' my Thumb" written by Charles Perrault. The finely shaped hand-crafted pieces follow the characters and colours of the picture. So the sky pieces are shaped like clouds and the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle frame are long to help the child begin the puzzle. The zippered bag contains 24 pieces and the story. The wood comes from sustainably managed forests in Europe.

Charles Perrault retold in his Tales of Mother Goose in 1697 the stories he had culled from oral tradition. A clever little boy manages to substitute the magic seven-league boots belonging to the wicked Giant' In the 17th century, a league was the distance a rider could travel in one hour.
