Wholesale Trolls: A Compendium Paperback

Everybody knows about the Celtic Faerie world of elves, dwarfs, pixies, brownies, and the like. What do you know about the magical world of the Vikings and their neighbors in Scandinavia? Their world is the Troll World! Following the Harry N. Abrams, Inc. tradition of the series that created Brian Froud's and Alan Lee's Faeries and Gnomes by Wil Huygen and Rien Poortvliet, we present you with what would have been the next book in the series: Trolls: A Compendium. Trolls—do you think you know what they are? Could you be wrong? Trolls within Scandinavian lore, myth, saga, fantasy, and folktales are actually anything magical within our northern neighbor's culture. Richly illustrated in this volume are the tales of fairies, dwarves, nissen, huldras, gods, Jotuns, draugar, ghosts, werewolves, dragons, and more. Also, this book introduces our readers to the world of Trollheim, populated by Nattrolls that escaped the 17th-century Swedish colony within the New Jersey Pine Barrens.
