In TROLL PETER'S ADVENTURES BOOK 3 we're back on the moor of Jutland, where Troll Peter, his parents and old Granny have their home, a hut partly dug into a hill. It's called Troll Hill. One day they get an invitation to visit their relatives, the Bridge Troll and his family. The occasion is that the King of The Trolls will cross their bridge, as he travels through Jutland. The troll family certainly does not want to miss that event. - Troll Peter also goes fishing at the creek in the meadow, and he has some dramatic moments there. But in the end he carries home a big fish for Granny to eat. Troll Peter loves his grandmother. She is old, but she is still very much alive. One day she decides to take her grandson on a picnic to a spring on the moor. But it's shows to be further away than she remembers. So they have to stay overnight there. And while the stars are twinkling in the sky, they witness something strange going on at the spring. TROLL PETER'S ADVENTURES BOOK 4 will follow.

Today, most of the moors of Jutland are cultivated. However, some parts of the Hills of the Trolls are still lying wild and overgrown; and, if you look very carefully, don't be surprised if you spot a little troll boy playing about on the heather. His name is Troll Peter, and he lives at Troll Hill together with his parents and old Granny. He's a curious little troll who likes to go exploring, even though his adventures sometimes get him into trouble."Troll Peter Finds a Treasure at the End of the Rainbow and Other Stories" shares the wind-whispered stories of bygone days. Grab a chair and cozy up to learn of Troll Peter's many adventures, including finding treasure at the end of the rainbow, seeing a human for the first time, and many more!

I don't think it's fair to the trolls that in most literature they are described as horrible creatures. Not all of them are monsters. In my stories we are following the little, good-natured troll boy, Peter, through a summer. Together with his parents and old grandmother he lives in a hill far out on the Jutlandish moor in Denmark. Troll Peter is a curious little troll who likes to go exploring. But sometimes his adventures bring him into trouble, as when he falls down into the Bog-woman's cave, and she wants him to stay there. He also ventures out to the Big Hill on Midsummer Eve and there he spots some witches flying on broomsticks on their way to The Blocken Mountain in Germany. That scares him During the summer he meets other Danish folklore creatures, and he has many exciting adventures.

Granny plays an important role in Troll Peter's life. His parents are always busy providing food for the daily meals but Granny is always there, ready to comfort him. And the old troll woman knows that honey is the best medicine for all kinds of hurt. Troll Peter loves her very much.
