The Troll of Sora

Fragolina is a very average girl who is unhappy with her lot in life. If only she were tall, beautiful, and popular.... To ease her despair, she begins to eat and eat. Soon she's no longer average -- she's huge and twice as miserable as before. Finally her mother resorts to desperate measures and calls on the Troll of Sora to grant her daughter her wish. This he does -- but for an unusual fee. When the troll returns to collect payment, Fragolina learns that being beautiful will not bring happiness if your heart is not true. The surprise ending will delight all those who believe in loving from the heart and not from a calculating head. The illustrations are as warm and vivid as the text.
