Hildafolk

We already own and love Hilda and the The Black Hound, Hilda and the Midnight Giant, Hilda and the Bird Parade and Hilda and the Troll - all of them are beautiful, wonderful books. So I was delighted to see this - what looked like a Hilda book we didn't already have. My son (5) was really excited about receiving it. But then when it arrived this morning, we discover it's just a smaller version of Hilda and the Troll - he already knows the story off by heart. So if you're new to Hilda this is a great book, full of strange folksy mystery and cod-Scandinavian animism, plus plenty of humour and adventure - but if you've already got Hilda and the Troll, don't bother getting this one too! That said, if you have an imaginative child over about 5yrs up, do get all the others, you won't regret it.

NoBrow actually came to my art college (Leeds) and did a talk about their company. I had the chance to have a quick read of this at the end, (along with some free postcards) and I loved it! Now that I have some spare birthday money kicking around (yes, I am that bad with money, being a student I should be more savvy) I decided to order a copy. The paper is a lovely quality, different from a lot of other publications, and the art work has a charmingly cultured and cute feel to it. Definately a recommendation for all ages.

Bought this book, because I collect graphic novels, and wanted something my young children could start to appreciate.Gentle characters, intriguing storyline with just the right mix of suspence, horror (rock trolls - not really horror, but a little scary) and imaginative ending. Beautiful illustrations too. We all love it.

daughter and son enjoy the story, parent loves the illustration.

This was a lot smaller than I thought it would be, but it's spurred me on to buy some of the larger Hilda stories. The story has some really nice touches and makes me want more!

Purchased (along w. Hildafolk & Midnight Giant editions) for my 6yr-old nephew and he loved them. Illustrations are fantastic. V. happy

great gift

A very plesent relaxing story paired with what is in my opinion an excellent art style.Since buying this around a year ago, I have read all four books in the Hildafolk series. Each of which are just as amazing.
