[UA] Enigma

[James McGraw]

It's short for the Big Friendly Giant, but the book's called the BFG. Excellent, one of the defining books of my childhood, was made into a relatively good (as these things go) animated film.

I really dig Dahl, but what is the BFG?

I only have one of his collection of short stories.  I also
have ole Charlie, but neither of those would be abbreviated
to BFG.

Well, maybe at Dahl-ly-wood, but not in my universe.
