The Troll With No Heart in His Body

Trolls are central characters in Norwegian folklore. In this book. Lise Lunge-Larsen retells nine stories about trolls, from the title story to the Three Billy Goats Gruff, and Butterball. Trolls are the central characters in each one, and the book would be a great resource for a folklore unit. With woodcut illustrations by Betsy Bowen, this won the Minnesota Book Award in 2000, and was selected for Horn Book Fanfare and the national social studies list that year as well.
