Harfang is a vast castle inhabited by giants who claim to be gentle and welcoming. The Lady of the Green Kirtle sent the travelers there for the Autumn Feast. They were received with hot baths, hearty meals, and toys for Jill.

Ce qui s’y passe (révèle l’intrigue)

Jill plays the part of the naive girl, but the travelers discover in the kitchen a recipe book of the giants, with a dish of Puddleglum and a dish of man. They are the guests of honor of the feast, served as a pie.

They escape while the giants are hunting, and pass through a crack under the hill, into the Underworld. The original site also mentioned the "House of Harfang" and the Autumn Feast.

Harfang is the castle of the "good" giants, beyond the Ettins’ Moors. They eat well there and sleep warm. But the giants prepare their Great Autumn Feast, where humans and Puddleglums are served.

Le Fauteuil d'argent — La Dame à la robe verte envoie les voyageurs à Harfang. Ils y oublient les signes, puis découvrent le livre de cuisine. Ils s’enfuient pendant que les géants chassent.

Harfang

Son village and its castle seem very welcoming at first glance. But in reality, they are inhabited by evil giants. They are hospitable in order to eat their visitors.

Harrow House

It’s where King Caspian X and Queen Prunaprismia of Harfang live. Overlooking the City of the Ancient Giants, this rather gloomy castle hosted Eustace, Jill, and Puddleglum for a few days in winter.
