[The giant Cormoran]
"Jack the Giant Killer" is a fairy tale. As a variation on "The Brave Little Tailor", it shares some similarities to what is known today as "Jack and the Beanstalk."
As with most fairy tales, there are many different versions of the same story. For example, six variants appear in Ruth Manning-Sanders's book A Book of Giants. In one of these versions, Jack has an uncle who is a three headed-giant, whom he tricks into giving him a sword of sharpness, boots of speed, a cloak of darkness, and a cap of knowledge.
