5.0 out of 5 stars
A surprising focus on just trolls,
By D. Donovan, Editor/Sr. Reviewer "California B... (California, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Norwegian Troll Tales (Paperback)
This was released early last year but deserves ongoing mention for fans of fantasy in general and Norwegian folk stories in particular, offering a surprising narrowed focus on trolls and revising and expanding a previous title. Troll adventures appear in both stories and poems by Norwegian writers including such famous names as Henrik Ibsen.

This review is from: Norwegian Troll Tales (Paperback)
This book is an editorial nightmare, with accidentally duplicated artworks and such, and has just about the cheapest physical feel I've ever encountered in a paperback. Further, there's nothing to be gained from these rough-and-ready translations--cobbled together, as they are, with dim-witted recipes, jokes, and such--that can't be gleaned from the combination of Asbjornsen and Moe's epic work and Boose's comprehensive Scandinavian chrestomathy.

This review is from: Norwegian Troll Tales (Paperback)
my husband and i purchased this book, along with "scandinavian ghost stories," while on vacation this summer. our friend liked them so much that we purchased a copy of each book for him here. this is a nice collection of stories for anyone interested in the subject - great bedtime stories for (older) children and grown-ups alike
