About this work
Description
A light-hearted look at what it's like to be a giant. In the UK only 30 people are over 7 foot tall. Here we meet some of them, including 63-year-old Chris Greener who at 7, 6.5" has held the title of Britain's tallest man for the last 39 years but who has just now been surpassed by Neil who is 7, 7" and trying to make his way as an actor in Hollywood. Some of the health concerns are discussed in particular the hazards of having acromegalic giantism as well as some of the social problems. Finally we meet the two largest men in the world - the world-famous Xishun in China who is 7, 9" and Leonid, a fame-shy simple farmer in Ukraine, who is 8, 4".
