## Overview

D'Aulaires' Book of Trolls is a beautifully illustrated, richly detailed exploration of Norse troll mythology, blending storytelling and art to engage children and adults alike. With a strong reputation and high customer ratings, it serves as both an educational tool and a captivating read that nurtures cultural literacy and imagination across generations.

## Description

In this spectacular follow-up to their beloved Book of Norse Myths, the husband-and-wife team of Ingri and Edgar Parin d’Aulaire explore the uncanny reaches of Norse mythology, an enchanted night-world populated by trolls of all kinds—mountain trolls, forest trolls, trolls who live underwater and trolls who live under bridges, uncouth, unkempt, unbreakable, unforgettable, and invariably unbelievably ugly trolls—who work their wiles and carry on in the most bizarre and entertaining fashions. With their matchless talent as storytellers and illustrators, the d’Aulaires bring to life the weird and wonderful world of Norse mythology.

Review: Delightful story - Best for Ages 7-10. Beautifully illustrated.
Review: It *IS* a worthy choice for pre-schoolers! - As someone who is trying to cultivate a love of literature AND a lengthy attention span in my homeschooled children, I *did* purchase this for my pre-schooler and he sat happily through the entire book (3 evenings worth of reading for us). The d'Aulaire illustrations were, as always, engaging, soft, and encouraging to the child's imagination. Detailed without taking over the telling of the tales. Basically, it covered all of my criteria to be purchased: well written and if it has illustrations they need to be worthy of the story and worth looking at. The down side to this book is that it is in some ways a long treatise on trolls that happens to include some stories as examples. This means that your child ends the book having been exposed to a lot of the folk beliefs of Scandinavian trolls, with a limited number of stories, and that it doesn't offer simple cut-off points for bedtime reading. On the other hand, it means it is a book worth revisiting as a child grows older; in our case so our children will be versed in the folklore and belief of their ancestors. A simpler bedtime book with lovely woodblock illustrations would be Lise Lunge-Larsen's "The Troll with No Heart in His Body." It is a collection of the stories with very brief intros that can be included or omitted according to the moment (at bedtime with my pre-schooler I tend to leave them out; when reading during the day I am more likely to include them). I'm not really suggesting one book over the other. In a search for either cultural literacy or multiculturalism, both have their place and are both well told, well illustrated and will add to your child's imaginative landscape.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ D'Aulaires' Book of Trolls
*by A***E on May 12, 2007*

The D'Aulaire's Book of Trolls is a delight for any reader who enjoys tales with a bit of gruesome detail. The heavy pages are so satisfying, making this feel much more substantial than just a children's storybook- it has the feel of a work of art. The classic black/white D'Aulaire art was originally done with lithographic stones and the color pages were done with acetate overlays- one for each color. The final feel is almost as if the images were hand done in your personal copy of the book. The tales themselves are filled with fun but not for the faint of heart- here is a favorite passage in our house 'The more heads a troll had, the more trouble he had at mealtimes, for all his greedy mouths shouted, "I am hungry. Feed me first. It's my turn!" Since even a many headed troll had only two hands, he would be a very tired troll before the meal was over...'
