Review by Publisher's Weekly Review
The D'Aulaires' Book of Norse Myths taught a generation about the legends on which much of literature is based. Now their D'Aulaires' Book of Trolls by Ingri and Edgar Parin d'Aulaire, first published in 1972, returns to print to shed light on another staple of Norway: the magical trolls, "as old and moss-grown as the mountains themselves," in all their diversity.

Review by Horn Book Review
In the old days...the mountains belonged to the trolls, who were as old and moss-grown as the mountains themselves."" Lovers of folklore are well-served by the republication of the d'Aulaires' notable collection of Norse folktales. Their masterful examination of the lore of trolls is both fascinating and eerily beautiful, adorned with the stone lithographs they used to such great effect. (c) Copyright 2010.
