HIT - Trolls

[Susan Fonseca <sfonseca@MINET.GOV.MB.CA>]

Thanks everyone for your suggestions!  Here's what we came up with:

Be sure to check the Jan Brett website...here's a page about trolls from
this site  http://www.janbrett.com/trolls_newsnotes2.htm

Here is a site from Norway about the history of trolls

I used to do a unit on trolls years ago (like before internet) and have
some great books.  There's D'Aulaire's Trolls of course.  I also have a
book I love called Tim and Trisha (illus by Svend Otto S).  Another book
called In the troll wood by John Bauer had lots of good troll stories and
fine spooky illustrations.  I also have The Troll book by Michael
Berenstain.  Of course there's Three Billy Goats Gruff.  (I have fun
reading it in Swedish--the kids can always understand what story it is).
I remember getting a movie from our ESD on Norwegian Trolls but don't
remember the name.  I'm sure there are new things available.

Ruth Manning-Sanders, A Book of Ogres and Trolls  E.P. Dutton, 1972 -- all
stories about them.  Books of stories from Scandinavia will have troll
stories, since they are part of the folklore from that part of the world.
