Fables
This story is based on the original troll bridge folktale, focusing specifically on cumulative tales. I enjoyed the illustrations a lot as it made the story very simple. The billy goats were illustrated to look good and the troll was illustrated to look bad. It did a very good job personifying the goats and making them human.
“Then the big Billy Goat Gruff went up the hillside to join his brothers.”
I loved the illustrations in this book. They have a different style than other books and they are just so awesome to look at.
