Children's Books from Norway
Colourful trolls, rainbow ducks, friendly dragons, and five-horned manycorns — all discovered on walks through the Norwegian woods and turned into stories for grandchildren everywhere.
About the Author
Annabel Schiøtz lives in Norway with her husband, her eight grandchildren nearby, and one very fluffy dog. On her walks through the woods she photographs the troll-like trees and bushes lurking between the pines — and those discoveries have turned into a beloved series of picture books.
Her stories are about the adventures of a grandmother called Besti, her dog Lula, seven colourful trolls, an unhappy red dragon, a rainbow-coloured duck, and various other characters. The grandchildren, of course, wouldn't be left out.
All books are available in both English and Norwegian.

Rainbow Duck has vanished and her nest is all torn and broken! Four trolls set off in different directions to solve the mystery and find their colourful friend.
When Besti's scarf blows up into a tree, Orange Troll wants to help — but something once frightened her so much she no longer dares to climb. Besti helps her find courage again.
Ella and Sophia visit the trolls to bake a cake with Rainbow Duck's egg. But first they must wake Indigo Troll, who only sleeps during the day — and the solution will delight every child.
Blue Troll discovers a family of shining white manycorns — like unicorns, but with five horns. When the mother can't get up, he races to find help before it's too late.
A golden egg appears in Besti's garden — and it's hatching a baby dragon! When thieves return to steal it, Besti and the five grandchildren must protect the little one and find its mother.
A new adventure featuring the beloved manycorns — five-horned unicorns from the Norwegian woods — and the brave characters who must come to the rescue of their young.
