The Dream of Wooden Horses
(for Nora)
This story, which is the sixth one in
the book, takes place in summertime.
Tick-Tack Troll, the fourth youngest
Troll child, is having trouble getting
along with her brothers and sisters.
They think it's all her fault, and you can
guess what she thinks! Grandma Troll
goes on a trip and sends Tick-Tack a
postcard with a picture of some beautiful
painted wooden horses. And then one
night the horses come all the way to
Lapland to fetch her... What will happen if
she leaves her family behind to ride with
the red, blue, green and purple horses?
Will she find her way home again?
Read the story and find out!
Here's a picture of Tick-Tack riding one
of the horses. The horse it taking a
very big jump. Do you think Tick-Tack
will be able to hold on?
