For this year's final HYCCT challenge, Lydia asked us to be inspired by a favorite children's book. I can remember my Dad reading to my sister and I from Bland TOMTAR och TROLL (Among Gnomes and Trolls). One of the stories was about the adventures of two little trolls, one named Olsson and the other not named anything. I still have the book, and scanned one of the illustrations for my card. Sadly, I cannot read or speak the Swedish language... I had to use a translator app to learn the English book title.

I've never heard of your book - but the illustration reminded me straight away of some of the drawings in Tove Jansson's Moomintroll books, also Scandinavian. Thanks for the memories .

This is awesome! Love the sentiment you paired with your trolls!
