The entire north-west came to a standstill in July, 2014 as Liverpool was again left captivated by the return of the Giants in the thrilling 'Memories of August 1914' street-theatre spectacular. 800,000 visitors stood in awe when Royal de Luxe, the famous French theatre company, first brought their act to the city in 2012. But that was nothing compared to this summer as a million thrilled visitors flocked from all over the country to see Xolo the dog, the Little Girl Giant and the Grandmother Giant. 'Memories of August 1914' commemorated the outbreak of World War One and the entire performance, from the Grandmother Giant's stay in St George's Hall to the Giants departure on the River Mersey, was a breathtaking adventure for all involved. 'Return of the Giants' is the official book paying tribute to five magical July days and it contains exclusive photographs and interviews with those that made the staggering event take place. A free DVD is also included which further brings to life the sights, sounds and events that captured the public's imagination.
This exclusive book is a must-have souvenir of a time when the entire country stopped to look at Liverpool and the Giants that captured its heart.
