Dynkur the troll boy is afraid of the daylight and all the curious people who wander by his cave from time to time. But his mother convinces him that there is nothing to fear, and together they venture forth into the wilderness to gather plants and mushrooms. The world outside is nothing like Dynkur expected it to be – and neither are the people, who appear little and harmless. Brian Pilkington’s stories of Icelandic trolls have long been well known and respected nationwide, as well as abroad, and deserve a place at every child’s bedside.
