Heartless Troll
"The delicate, spidery lines and dark landscapes of Torseter's panels combine the energy of Ralph Steadman, the effervescence of Jules Feiffer, and the charm of the Moomintrolls. Mordant grotesquerie vies with hilarity... Dickson's translation shines as well." -- STARRED REVIEW, Publishers Weekly "The story ends with Fred and the princess riding off on the horse to the refrains of an octopus playing a saxophone--an oddly perfect ending for this one-of-a-kind graphic novel." -- Starred Review, The Horn Book Review
