Description

One summer’s eve Ola, Lina, Sina, and Trina leave their village to gather firewood within the forest, when they’re surprised by the hideous call of the terrible troll-bird, an incredible rooster who pops up out of the treetops and swoops down to devour their beloved horse Blakken. Little does the terrible troll-bird know that in Ola, Lina, Sina, and Trina he has in any case met his match: his terrible days of terrorizing are over. Before long the entire village is celebrating the monster’s demise, or even the gnomes and hulder-maidens are coming out of their hiding places within the woods to take part in a really perfect feast. All celebration is cut short, even though, with the startling appearance of two monstrous moss-grown trolls much more terrible than the terrible troll-bird himself. Luckily, the children rise to the occasion over again, saving the day before they set out on a splendid new adventure.

Filled with vibrant illustrations and telling a story of childhood ingenuity and bravery, The Terrible Troll-Bird is a delightful companion to Ingri and Edgar Parin d’Aulaire’s more comprehensive books of Norwegian folklore, D’Aulaires’ Book of Norse Myths and D’Aulaires’ Book of Trolls.
