Ogre 🤢 Huge, monstrous creatures with an appetite for human flesh — that of children, in particular. Ogres have turned up in a variety of fairy tales and myths including those of The Odyssey, Beowulf, Gilgamesh, and Puss in Boots. The animated film Shrek would have you believe that ogres are secretly gentle beings with layers of emotion, but don’t let your guard down around them! Where to find one: in Oscar Wilde’s short story, “The Selfish Giant”, we learn that the titular character has returned from visiting his friend The Cornish Ogre — who we presume is a saint, based on the fact that he let the Giant stay for seven years. #info #EverythingsInfo
