Hilda and the Troll

Hilda and the Troll introduces readers to Hilda, a curious and adventurous girl who can never sit still for long. With an enchanting world at her fingertips—a place where trolls walk, crows speak, and mountains move—Hilda embarks on captivating adventures that bring the magic and folklore of the wild, windswept North to life.

While on an expedition to illustrate the magical creatures inhabiting the mountains around her home, Hilda spots a mountain troll. As this blue-haired explorer sketches the mystical being, she drifts off and wakes to find the troll has vanished. Worse still, Hilda finds herself lost in a snowstorm. On her journey home, she befriends a lonely wooden man and narrowly escapes being squashed by a wandering giant.
