What is The tall tale of the Giant's Causeway about?

Finn McCool, an Irish giant, spots Benandonner, a Scottish giant, across the sea. Soon they are boasting about who is strongest and greatest. When words turn to threats, Finn decides they must meet and fight. With Oona’s sensible advice ignored, the giants build a huge road of stones across the water. But when they finally face one another, things do not go quite as planned. This playful retelling of Celtic folklore explains how the Giant’s Causeway came to be.
