The Stone Tear

Once upon a time there was a small troll boy who lived with his parents in a cave. He often sat at the mouth of the cave and watched the human children and the elves playing in the sunshine. One night he stole away from home to take a look at the ocean and the countries beyond the mountains. It is a common belief in Iceland that trolls turn into stone if the sun shines on them. That is why a small troll boy must take good care. Even his tears turn into stone as soon as the sun rises.

The story is beautifully illustrated by Anna Vilborg Gunnarsdóttir She has previously illustrated several children's books. In English. Size 21.5 x 26.5 cm. Hardcover with 26 pages.
