Synopsis

Trolls would have been part of the Abrams series that made Brian Froud's and Alan Lee's Faeries and Gnomes by Wil Huygen and Rien Poortvliet, if they were smart... We present you with what would have been the next book in the series to follow Giants: Trolls: A Compendium. Trolls—do you think you know what they are? Could you be wrong?

In Scandinavian tradition, Trolls are anything magical within our northern neighbors' culture. This installment features an abundance of over 500 detailed illustrations. Our book has tales of faeries, dwarves, nissen, and huldras. It also tells the stories of gods, Jotuns, draugar, ghosts, and more. Plus, it lists out the location of all the natural formations in the world named after Trolls.

Additionally, this book introduces our readers to our family of Nattrolls that live in Trollheim. The Nattrolls are horned Trolls with a thin membrane over their eyes. It lets them be out during the day without turning to stone. They escaped the 17th-century Swedish colony in the NJ Pine Belt. Christopher Jonathan Hulton narrates the tales. He lives in the Thousand Acre Woods, soon after the Civil War. The tales brim with Native American lore and stories of their neighbor, the Jersey Devil. The tales are light-hearted in tone, like a good Winnie the Pooh story, but go deep, like an ancient Sufi tale.
