Helga's Dowry

I had this book as a child, so when I spotted it at the thrift store recently, all my kid memories flooded back!  Isn't it funny how illustrations can do that to you?  I adored Tomie dePaola's books when I was a child.  And I distincly remember the pictures in this one of Helga the Troll with her tail, when she turns into a boulder, and the townspeople with the Troll cream on their faces.  I was so excited to share it with Charlotte the other night and add it to our library!

Tomie dePaola 1977
