Description	The Stone Giant (1989) is James Blaylock’s prequel to his first published book, The Elfin Ship, and thus the end (as of 2008) of a loose trilogy of comic fantasy novels including The Disappearing Dwarf.Although written some years after the other two novels, the setting once again features a mix of fantasy and steampunk elements but unlike the others, the protagonist in The Stone Giant is the roguish Theophile Escargot. Few of the characters from the previous novels appear but the antagonist is once again the evil sorcerer Selznak (although referred to as "Uncle Abner" in the story.) The book was first published as an Ace paperback by Berkley Books.The story, a parody of the heroic quest, is set in a world where human beings live alongside elves, goblins, witches, wizards, and other fantastic beings. There Theophile Escargot, a Rip Van Winkle-like malcontent, has series of comic misadventures while attempting both to impress a pretty barmaid and to revenge himself on an evil dwarf who cheated him out of a bag of marbles.
