Originally published in Norwegian as Trollgutten og heksa, and then translated within Norway by the Lillestrom-based Normanns Kunstforlag for the tourist market, The Troll Boy and the Witch is a title that I sought out for multiple reasons, including my interest in Norwegian children's literature in translation, and my devotion to witchy picture-books. Somewhat text-heavy for a picture-book, the story itself was entertaining, although I did find myself wondering why Jon could find his father's home village, when Jonte couldn't. Leaving that aside, this was a sweet tale from author Erik Arpi, and although the focus was more on the trolls than the witch, I enjoyed it. The artwork from illustrators Garcia Arias and Juan Vernet, which consisted of full-page paintings on the right-hand-side page of each two-page spread, was colorful and cute, capturing the endearing quality of the troll characters. Recommended to young folk and fairy-tale lovers, particularly those who enjoy stories of Scandinavian trolls. ( )
