CHILDREN AND YOUNG ADULT
FOR AGES 5–12 YEARS
TROLLE AND THE MAGIC FIDDLE Trolle is teased and bothered by the other trolls, but one day he comes across the King of the Fairies' violin, which is lying sparkling in a forest clearing. He realises that the instrument is magic – anyone who hears it falls into the power of the fiddler. Now Trolle is not only accepted, but worshipped! But one night the troll flock escape from his spell. Trolle is back where he started, lonelier than when he found the fiddle.

Luckily, Alva appears. She tries to get Trolle to understand that he can never be happy as long as he has the fiddle. At the same time, they have to keep their friendship secret, because in Alva's village everybody wants to destroy the trolls. As if that were not enough: The Fairy King is out looking for his fiddle and will do anything to get it back.
