The tale of Lefi Ganderson and his battle with the Giant has passed through the ages. Its core narrative appears in many folk tales such as ‘Jack and Beanstalk’ and the classic Norwegian legend ‘De Baby og de Gigantiske’.
But for many scholars the classic tale is still ‘The Goat Boy of Seething’. The ‘Legend of Lefi’ gives as clear a rendition of the saga as is possible. Unfortunately the Seething Festival and its community procession stopped in 1921 and the legend was last told to Seething folk in 1927. [click here for the story]
It is however hoped that the Seething
Festival and Community Play will take
place again in 2010 over the weekend
of the 27th and 28th February.
