(2) K-3 Illustrated by Betsy Bowen. This new edition of native Norwegian Lunge-Larsen's collection (still available from Houghton as an e-book) contains nine tales (plus a brief bonus story). The author's satisfying retellings and additional commentary about trolls honor the spirit of their oral origins. Bowen's rustic woodcuts, with their earthy colors, thick lines, and enormous, ugly trolls, pay homage to traditional Norwegian woodcarving and design.
