A benevolent Giant of Cornwall in England. He was of great proportions but was very fond of children and would usually play games with them. One day due to his simple-mindedness he threw boulders instead of soft balls to the children. One of them crushed a small boy to death. He felt so guilty that he died of grief. A rocking stone remains in Penznace which marks the place of his death.

Ireland is regarded as the heart of Celtic myth in modern day. For more on Fairies, Dragons and Spirits why not go there yourself and live the myths? Celtic Dragon and Fairy art is very popular such as the works of Howard D Johnson and Jane S Weills. Composer Medwynn Goodall does excellent Celtic music to create that Fairy fantasy feeling. But if you are into your horror films watch the Banshee (2006) - celtic horror brought to life. On another note the TV series Merlin featuring a talking Dragon and multitude of Medieval - Celtic creatures might take your fancy.
