When her father leaves to fight the giant, the child in the red dress is left alone. Many days and many nights go by. Every evening the girl says good night to herself in her mirror. When the last light burns down, the girl takes her mirror and a knife and sets out to find her father. The Stone Giant is a contemporary and timeless fairytale that tells of a child who succeeds where adults cannot.
