About this book

Grandgousier, Gargantua and Pantagruel, the grandfather, father and son of Rabelais's tales, are the heroes of this retelling compiled from the French by John Dimitry. In his preface he explains that he separated the incidents from the philosophy and cut the coarse matter, so that the giants might suit children.

Illustrations by Gustave Doré and A. Robida accompany the text, and the book was printed in Boston and New York.
