A fun twist on an old fairytale called "The Troll with No Heart," The Heartless Troll is about a troll who's hidden his heart and the seventh son of a king who goes in search of his six brothers. The young man's journey brings him to a mountain, a captive princess, and a terrifying troll. The illustrations are by turns fanciful and lovely as well as dark and terrifying, but a continuous thread of good humor and playfulness runs thorugh the whole story.

Øyvind Torseter is a Norwegian artist, illustrator, comic book artist, and author. Torseter studied illustration at the Merkantilt Institutt in Oslo, the School for Graphic Design in Oslo, and the Kent Institute of Art and Design in England. In addition to his own books, Torseter has illustrated books by other authors, including My Father's Arms Are a Boat by Stein Erik Lunde.

Industry Reviews

"The delicate, spidery lines and dark landscapes of Torseter's panels combine the energy of Ralph Steadman, the effervescence of Jules Feiffer, and the charm of the Moomintrolls. Mordant grotesquerie vies with hilarity... Dickson's translation shines as well." -- STARRED REVIEW, Publishers Weekly "The story ends with Fred and the princess riding off on the horse to the refrains of an octopus playing a saxophone--an oddly perfect ending for this one-of-a-kind graphic novel." -- Starred Review, The Horn Book Review
