Norway is a land of snowy winters and green mountain meadows, fjords and mountain farms, jagged cliffs and cold winds. And the fairy tales here are truly special, with their main characters—trolls—being malicious, cunning, and mischievous, yet sometimes as naive as children. That is precisely when kind princes, beautiful princesses, brave hunters, and even resourceful boys manage to outwit them.
Thanks to the work of the renowned translator Natalia Budur, the fairy tales have retained their authentic Norwegian spirit. And the colorful, delicate watercolor illustrations by Olga Ionaitis will transport the reader to small villages and hillsides, into trolls' caves and kings' palaces—to a harsh land where real miracles happen.
