Gargantua

"Seventeen thousand nine hundred and thirteen cows were brought in, for neither the milk of the queen, the giant Gargamelle, nor that of any nurse in the kingdom could satisfy the newborn's thirst. Every day, Gargantua grew in strength and size. He had a good round head extended by eighteen fat chins."

Gargantua by François Rabelais is one of the classics of French literature which dates from the 16th century. The story of Gargantua tells the adventures of the eponymous character, a giant with the appetite of an ogre. Pantagruel, son of Gargantua will also be entitled to his adventures.
