Best knap, want er zit erg veel tekst in. Het verhaal is leuk, maar had met veel minder zinnen gekund en was dan naar mijn mening krachtiger geweest. Maar toch, we hebben allebei van het voorlezen en van de mooie tekeningen genoten. ( ) This story was VERY VERY VERY long. It’s about a troll who want to know why they can not go outside in the daylight. He goes on a grand adventure meeting various trolls from fairy tales and fables in search of his answer. The illustrations scream 80’s, but are so well done, and so vibrant for a muted palette. An interesting book for an adult, but probably a snooze for most modern kids. Little Troll questions the prohibition on trolls going out in the sunshine in this Norwegian picture-book from author Tor Åge Bringsværd and illustrator Ingerlise Karlsen Kongsgaard. Joined by three animal friends - a moose calf, a bear cub, and a little fox - he journeys far and wide, asking a series of troll elders why their kind cannot go out during the daytime. None can give him an explanation, replying that it is simply how things have always been, something Little Troll finds deeply unfair. When he finally finds someone with an answer - an ancient troll so slow-moving that he is mistaken for a hill - Little Troll isn't sure what to think. Can it be true that it was only in ancient times, when trolls were Hoarfrost Gnomes and Ice Giants, that sunshine was harmful to them? Kinder and gentler now, can trolls truly go out into the daylight? Little Troll finds out when one of his animal friends is in danger, and he must come to the rescue... Originally published in Norwegian as Lilletrollet, The Little Troll was translated into English and published by the Oslo-based N.W. Damm & Son. I'm not sure how widely available it was, here in the states, but I obtained a copy through inter-library loan. Appropriately enough, it came from St. Olaf College in Minnesota - an institution founded by Norwegian immigrants to the United States. No doubt they keep an extensive collection of Norwegian cultural items. In any case, I thought that this was a sweet little book, one which draws upon traditional folklore to spin an original tale. I chuckled at the reference to the story of The Three Billy Goats Gruff, and found the idea behind Little Troll's quest - that sunlight is anethma to trolls - quite fascinating. One sees this idea in Tolkien as well, of course. The artwork wasn't quite to my taste - a little too cute, really - although I think it will probably have a lot of child appeal. Recommended to young folk and fairy-tale lovers, although would-be readers should be aware that this one is text-heavy, for a picture-book. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
