The Little Boy Giant sleeping in a
hammock in St Georges Hall, Liverpool this morning. A giant boy has been
spotted getting some well-earned shut eye before a busy weekend when
the Giants return to Liverpool for a farewell tour. The Little Boy Giant
was caught dozing in a huge hammock in the city's St Georges Hall which
is expected to draw crowds. The 20ft tall puppet will be woken from his
slumbers tomorrow where he will join the other Giants for a walk
through the city. The project is the brainchild of French street theatre
group Royal de Luxe who are making their third visit to the city to
celebrate 10 years since it was named European Capital of Culture.
