Trolls by Brian & Wendy Froud
'A Tail of Tales'
One
of the most important things a troll possesses is his, or her, tail. It
is where they store their tales, the stories that tell of the nature of
things, their world, their history, themselves. It is in the
remembering, the telling and the sharing of these tales that trolls are
able to pass on the knowledge and wisdom that has been learnt over the
long, long years. But not all trolls are born to carry these tails, some
are hunters, some are fighters, some live under bridges and others on
very rare occasions have been known to eat small children.
Trolls
leads us into a world where few humans have been before. The Otherworld
is a place where every stone, every bone, every feather and every twig
tells a story. Trolls are everywhere if you would only open your eyes to
see. Although not all trolls are wise or intelligent, all are
ancient beings of nature and time, majestic and complex, they are
diverse as they are elusive. This beautiful and breathtaking tail
reveals soulful and delicate beings who are greatly misunderstood. A
stunning and skilfully illustrated guide into the land of Trolls.
