A Giant Love Story by Guðrún Helgadóttir & Brian Pilkington

"A Giant Love Story" is an Icelandic classic. Written in 1981 this book has been read to generations of Icelandic children and remains one of the most recognised children book in Iceland. The book gives a unique insight into Icelandic folklore as the storyline revolves around trolls. Not the tiny, annoying, pink haired ones that cover themselves in glitter and eat ice cream in the sun. No, quite the opposite! It is about the REAL Icelandic, enormous trolls that turn to stone when exposed to sunlight... and their love and family life.
