The Troll with No Heart in His Body: And Other Tales of Trolls from Norway

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Betsy Bowen. With notes as rich as the tales, Lunge-Larsen traverses the landscape of the troll story, beginning with "The Three Billy Goats Gruff" and ending with what amounts to a troll knock-knock joke, "Trolls Shouting." In between come eight tales alike only in their suitability for rambunctious reading-aloud. Bowen's woodcuts, strong in line and rustic in flavor, hew to the boldness of the stories.
