Upon hearing that trolls took her brother, a little girl grabs a red wooden horse and sets out to rescue him. After outwitting a number of trolls along the way with the help of the red horse, she finally finds her brother--only to learn that he doesn"t want to be rescued. Full-color illustrations, like jewels in snow, show dark-haired northerners and a troll kingdom magnificently ill-mannered and monstrous.
