The Troll of Lake Murray

By Kimberly Gallagher

This timeless tale--in which goodness and perseverance triumph over badness--promises to become a child's favorite read-aloud. Vivid illustrations complement the rich language telling the story of a gloomy troll who lives on a dreary island in Lake Murray. He winces at the warmth of sunshine, cringes at the singing of songbirds, and hates all things joyful. When he is disturbed by the jubilant celebration for the birth of a princess, he demands the townspeople cease their celebrating at once, and he threatens to steal away the Princess Columbiana if he is disturbed again. Quietness blankets the kingdom for twelve years until his "ears are pained" once again--this time by the princess! The only way the princess can be rescued is through Splendiferous Jollification. It will require a day in which the greatest of the human spirit is celebrated with the best of nature's glory. Can the townspeople create such a day? Will the princess be set free?
