Pamela Love is a children's magazine and book author. Royal families, made up of kings, queens, and other members of their family, often hired, or gave jobs to, people to work for them. These people may be servants, whose job is to clean another person's house, cook their food, or help them in other ways in their home, or even as jesters, who were hired to tell jokes to royals. In this story, a girl named Mabel meets a giant.
