The Billy Goats Gruff Go Swimming

The three Billy Goats Gruff are on their way to the meadow to eat the green grass. But along the road they find a new sign: Water Park – 200 meters. The Gruff brothers think this sounds tempting. And maybe they won't have to face the troll that is always waiting under the bridge to scare them every time they head for the hills.

The water park is exciting, especially the long slide. But then the troll shows up …

The Billy Goats Gruff go swimming is the first book in the series

‘Fun reading for the whole family. It doesn’t get much better than this!’
FORELDRE & BARN

‘In this staggeringly wise and amusing new version of an old tale, Bjørn F. Rørvik sets the story in the modern day, and has transformed the troll into an uncontrollable bully of the kind that all children are familiar with ... This has become a powerful, colourful and energetic book, and a very contemporary tale with its mix of fairy tale traditions and contemporary children’s culture.’
