Illustrated by
Kari Vick.
Seven Scandinavian folktales for reading aloud or independent reading. Carefully describing her sources and her own adaptations, Lunge-Larsen shares the traditional stories as well as tongue-in-cheek tips about fooling trolls and finding their remains. The watercolor illustrations depict all kinds of ugly trolls--hairy, stony, and vegetation-covered--in contrast to the cherubic young people who outwit them.
