One of the most fascinating legends in Norway is the TROLL. A troll is a member of fearsome creatures from Norge mythology. They had the form of a devious ogre characteristic of a
half man-half animal, which lived in underground grottos and caves. Nordic literature, art and music from the romantic era and
onwards have adapted trolls in various manners - often in the form
of an aboriginal race, endowed with oversized ears and noses...and
a tail. The legend also explains that when they were exposed to
sunlight, they turned into rocks; and many rocks in Norway that
resemble a human form is said to be a solidified ancient troll. Trolls
have achieved international recognition. In every single souvenir
shop, road stop and general store in all of Scandinavia, the amount
of these funny figures for sale is enormous. They come in every
size, material and form, always a little expensive.
