Mary Mary

Mary Mary is a 1990 children's book written by British novelist Sarah Hayes and illustrated by Helen Craig.

Synopsis
Difficult Mary Mary manages the messy giant who lives at the top of the hill and reveals his friendly nature to the rest of the town.

Plot
Mary is very contrary, so when everyone else says that they are scared of the giant, Mary says she's not and she goes marching up to his house to prove it. As it turns out, the giant is not wicked but rather sad, and Mary, who is very good at managing, sorts him out well and truly and turns his garden into a playground for all the children.
