"In the old days...the mountains belonged to the trolls, who were as old and moss-grown as the mountains themselves." Lovers of folklore are well-served by the republication of the d'Aulaires' notable collection of Norse folktales. Their masterful examination of the lore of trolls is both fascinating and eerily beautiful, adorned with the stone lithographs they used to such great effect.
