"Tales of trolls, ogres, and giants were around long before they were popularized by J.R.R. Tolkien and J.K. Rowling. They spoke to our common fears about the darkness in the forest and shadows around every corner. The fun, accessible graphic novel format takes readers on a thrilling journey with these legendary creatures."--Amazon.com
