Tetbury Troll
 

Easter is a special time in Lapland. It's the
time of year when the Easter witches come
around. Tetbury Troll is the third youngest
Troll child. He’s a bit wild, the way kids are
when they’re his age. (You can try to guess
how old he is by looking at his picture.)
He’s the star of the second story in the
book, "A Bevy of Easter Witches and
Their Cat". Tetbury joins his sisters on
their annual Easter Witch expedition on
Palm Sunday, but being the kind of kid he
is, he can't help but get into trouble. And
then the real witches come out... Read
about Tetbury's adventure and find out if
he learns anything from his experience!

Here's a picture of Tetbury from the middle
of the story - before things get scary. He's
holding an old-style coffee pot in one hand.
That's what Finnish Easter witches (and
Easter cats) use to collect their earnings:

Finnish Easter witches aren't scary at all.
Here's a picture of two of them:
