<p>18 bilingual stories in English and Norwegian Nynorsk (in the same book) from the collection of Peter Christen Asbjørnsen (1812-1885) and Jørgen Moe (1813-1882), as well as others. In 1944, Øyvind Dybvad had an inspiration for a new cartoon series based on Norwegian folk tales. The series received the resounding name of Tuss og Troll [Gnomes and Trolls]. Other than in 1947, this classic series has been published every year in Norway by Norsk Barneblad. Jens R. Nilssen, a master at drawing trolls, illustrated the series from 1944-1956. In 1957, Solveig Muren Sanden followed as illustrator and became known for her kinder trolls in the Norwegian landscape. She is one of Norway’s greatest cartoonists, particularly known for her work with Tuss og Troll. The bilingual book includes over 600 full-colored illustrations.
