Oh, trolls—alas, with all your faults, you are so endearing, perhaps just a little like us flawed human beings.
And then there are those old troll tales of our childhood, and who doesn’t remember the troll dolls of their childhood, those funky little creatures with their psychedelic-colored hair?
With this issue’s Barneblad, you can relive your favorite troll memories or even create new ones as you color in an original drawing by our one and only design editor, Mattea Bertling—let the trolls enchant you as your imagination runs free!
