Adventure, gold and troublesome trolls
''The Gaffer,'' Uncle Baldur whispered, ''is the King of Troll Fell, see? And he lives up there under the crags, not far away. And naughty little boys, why, he likes to tear them in pieces! So watch your step, laddie.''
Peer's life has changed for ever. Left an orphan and claimed by his mean-spirited uncles, the Grimssons, Peer is treated like a slave at their dilapidated mill near the dark and mysterious Troll Fell. But Peer and his faithful dog, Loki, soon make friends with Hilde, daughter of the Grimssons' kindly neighbours. When Peer discovers his greedy uncles are plotting with the trolls, he and Hilde are plunged into a terrifying adventure. The Grimssons will do anything for gold, but they haven't counted on Peer and Hilde's determination, or the cunning nature of the trolls ...
