Chapter XLIII: How Fin Went to the Kingdom of the Big Men

Text size

_Source._--J. G. Campbell, _The Fians_ (_Waifs and Strays_, No. iv.), pp. 175-92.

_Parallels._--_The Voyage to Brobdingnag_ will occur to many readers, and it is by no means impossible that, as Swift was once an Irish lad, _The Voyage_ may have been suggested by some such tale told him in his infancy. It is not, however, a part of the earlier recorded Ossianic cycle, though over-sea giants occur as opponents of the heroes in that as well as in the earlier Ultonian cycle.
