Francois Rabelais (circa 1490 - 1553) and his satirical writings on the illustrious giants, Gargantua and Pantagruel, were the inspiration for this book of prints by Art Hazelwood.

Rabelais was a scholar of erudition,
a mocker of manners,
a defender of appetites,
an adherent of wine,
and a champion of laughter.
