There has been a lot of misinformation over the years about the monsters of legend. Ogres might not be the friendliest of folk, but their cooking is out of this world and it almost never includes small children. Giants are big, of course, but they are as harmless as kittens except when they try to do their own rewiring. As for trolls, they couldn¿t care less about billy goats. The single thing they are interested in is neither hairy nor hooved, it is yellow and shiny gold. If you want to find out more about the truth behind fairy tale fibs, read on.
