What a fun and whimsical book about trolls from Norwegian folktales. I love the D’Aulaires!

I got this from the library. The D'Aulaires did several books about myth and I want to read them all now. I had no idea about this book. It's obviously about Trools and it's so good. They make the trolls gross and kinda scary. There are times when people come into the story to outsmart a troll.
It's about troll culture and all the many different types of trolls. Trolls are so strange. One of their favorite things is getting a pretty maiden to scratch their heads while they sleep. There are all sorts of cool and bizarre things like that in this story. I Adore the artwork.. It whips your imagination into these old world ideas.
The girl trolls have long noses and they stir their stews with them. That was funny. I think there is a lot of funny stuff and I'm going to try and get the Nephew, who I think will love this, to read it. I don't know if I can, but I will try.
Library book.

I read this to my second grader. We love folklore and mythology. A lot of it goes right over his head, but I always hope he will go back and reread on his own.

There is some nice humor in this book about trolls. The D'Aulaires draw somewhat from Norse myth, though there are no stories of Norse gods. It is funny because you can just see Biblo going what, as you read it.

I like trolls a lot and this was a fun little romp with them. Wouldn't say it's a must read, but definitely fun for a troll enthusiast who loves illustrations.
