Summary: Great old tales
Comment: My kids love these stories. Some of these I remember from my childhood but most were new to me. I love the intros to all the tales. They really describe what true Norwegian Trolls are like. The illustrations are perfectly done. They match the way the stories unfold and the ruffness of the illustrations really brings out that uncivilized Troll imagery.
Rating: 5
Summary: Wonderful
Comment: Lise Lunge-Larsen is a Norwegian-American storyteller who wants to tell us about a creature rarely reported on in zoological circles, the Norwegian Troll. These nine (really ten, if you keep reading past the bibliography and sources) stories are relatively short, and easy to read. The illustrations are provided by woodcuts created by Betsy Bowen, and they provide just the right atmosphere for these wonderful tales.
My children and I all loved these stories, and we recommend them to you.
Rating: 5
Summary: Tales for Telling
Comment: The stories in this Houghton Mifflin hardcover, reflect the heritage of the author, who, like myself, is Norwegian. I love the forward in the book in which she refers to the reason stories are so important. These tales all told about trolls are written beautifully for telling or reading, and the woodcut illustrations evoke just the rough hewn image required to help transport ourselves to a gentle time and place.
Buy this to read to others and yourself. It is a modern classic!
