Back to the Troll Family Portrait

Tina Troll

Tina Troll is the second oldest Troll girl.
You can tell from the picture of her in
the family portrait that she loves her
mama very much. If you look closely at
the cover of the book, you'll notice that's
Tina sitting quietly in the middle of the
forest on a chilly autumn day. In the eighth
 story in the book, "The Old Wooden Bucket",
you'll find out all about Tina and her love of
nature, how she likes to pick lingonberries,
those tart little red berries that grow in
Finnish forests and that make the best jam
and juice in the world.

Below you can see a picture of some
lingonberries on a bush. They grow
all over Lapland, but you probably
don't have any where you live (unless
you live high in the mountains). So if you
want to taste one, you'll have to come
to Lapland in late summer and pick
berries with Tina!
