Back to the Troll Family Portrait

Tillie Troll

Tillie Troll is smack-dab in the middle
of the Troll family, the sixth oldest child -
or the sixth youngest, depending on how
you look at things. But that doesn't bother
her. She's a girl who knows what she wants,
and she's determined to get it. She's the
star of "The Girl-King", the fourth story
in the book. The title of the story tells you
all about her secret dream. But can a girl
be king? You'll have to read the story to
find out! And when you do, you'll also find
out whether there are dragons and evil
wizards in Lapland. Charge through the
briars and brambles with Tillie, Sir Pedro,
Sir John Dark and the others and find out
what they learn about life, including one of
the most important lessons we all need
to learn.

Here's a picture of Tillie with the family's
old mare, Greydog. Now what do you think
Tillie is wondering? And what do you think
Greydog is thinking?
