AbstractHistoryArchive Description

"After being set adrift on a raft in order to save his life, Orlif the giant is washed up on a mountainous part of the coast of Turkey. He soon makes friends with the animals and birds, and loves to watch the people on the nearby Greek island of Kastellorizo. But when the cold weather comes, Orlif is faced with a problem. He needs to light big bonfires to keep himself warm, but where can he find enough trees?" (back cover)
