However, the Fleshlumpeater is the only one to evade capture. The British Army and Air-Force follow the BFG to Giant Country where the giants are tethered and taken prisoner. Because the dream included foreknowledge of Sophie's presence, the Queen believes her story, and speaks with the BFG. Using dreams from his collection, the BFG creates a nightmare, blows it into the Queen's bedroom, leaves Sophie on the Queen's windowsill to confirm the dream and retreats into the palace gardens when Sophie calls him. They develop a plan to expose the evil giants to the Queen of England. The BFG flees with her to prevent her from being in danger again.Īfterwards, the grief-stricken Sophie convinces the BFG to stop the evil giants. Upon arriving at his Dream Cave, the BFG shows Sophie all the dreams he has captured already and locks away the nightmare in his cavern of lava in a tiny chest, and takes Sophie to watch him on his dream-blowing duties but this is cut short when they spot the Fleshlumpeater (the biggest of the evil giants) devouring a little boy whom the BFG had previously given a pleasant dream. In Dream Country, the BFG demonstrates his dream-catching skills to Sophie and teaches her to fly but the BFG mistakenly captures a "trogglehumper", the worst kind of nightmare. The next morning, the BFG takes Sophie to Dream Country to catch more dreams. After the Bloodbottler leaves, the BFG makes her a new dress out of her blanket to replace her heavily soiled nightgown and treats her to a delicious and remarkable drink called "frobscottle". Sophie and the BFG quickly become friends but Sophie is soon put in danger when a gruesome giant known as the Bloodbottler intrudes and unknowingly comes dangerously close to eating her. He explains that he took her so she couldn't tell anyone that she had seen him and start a giant hunt.
Not wanting to eat or steal from humans, the BFG subsists on eating "snozzcumbers" revolting vegetables which are all that grows in Giant Country. In his cave, the Giant identifies himself as the Big Friendly Giant (or BFG for short) who blows dreams into the bedrooms of children at night, while all the other nine giants are vicious, bestial child-eaters. One night, Sophie wakes up and looks out of her window to see a cloaked giant blowing something through a trumpet into a bedroom window down the street whereupon the Giant Man notices her and snatches her through the window, carrying her away to a mysterious realm known as "Giant Country".
Sophie is a young orphaned girl living in the orphanage of the cantankerous and abusive Mrs.
