Fairy Tales about Trolls

Norwegian title: Eventyr om troll

Illustrated by Asbjørn Tønnesen

Do trolls only exist in fairy tales?For generations, these grumpy, goofy and sometimes downright terrifying creatures have captured imaginations and fascinated both children and adults. Who can resist the thrill of a troll lurking under a bridge, or the cunning it takes to outwit a hungry giant and escape with your life (and perhaps a little treasure too)? This richly illustrated book features five of Norway’s most beloved fairy tales, all centred around trolls and their wild, magical world, where quick wits often beat brute strength, and danger hides in the most unexpected places.
