Finn MacCool and the Giant’s Causeway | An Irish Legend of Wit and Giants | A Simple Tale

Simple Tales presents the Irish folklore legend: Finn MacCool and the Giant’s Causeway.

When the Scottish giant Benandonner boasts he is the strongest in the world, the Irish giant Finn MacCool builds a massive stone road—the Giant’s Causeway—to cross the sea and challenge him. But when Finn’s wife, Oonagh, sees the gargantuan size of the approaching Scottish giant, she realizes her husband is no match for him. Using her quick wit, she disguises the sleeping Finn as an oversized baby, leading Benandonner to a terrifying conclusion about the true size of his opponent.
