The theme revolves around exploration, friendship, and the contrast between the worlds of giants and small humans. In the narrative, Little Jacket embarks on a journey after leaving home to pursue his love of the sea. Following a turbulent storm, he ends up stranded on a mysterious island that houses the gentle giant Huggermugger and his wife. As Jacky navigates the challenges of giant-sized obstacles, he befriends the giant and learns about their sorrowful existence as the last of their kind. When the giantess falls ill, their lives intertwine with those of Jacky and his companions, leading to a poignant conclusion as Huggermugger grapples with his loneliness and ultimately dies, leaving behind a legacy that evokes both wonder and sadness.
