We all know there are 47 volumes of A Brief Recapitulation of Troll Lore—authored millennia ago by the Venerable—and very dead—Bedehilde. But those books were written by trolls for trolls. And since Jim is the first human Trollhunter, it's time for him, Toby, Claire, Blinky, and AAARRRGGHH!!! to write a brand-new 48th volume. After all, Jim won't be the Trollhunter forever. And whoever inherits the Amulet after him—maybe another human boy, or a human girl, or even NotEnrique!—will benefit from this updated, humanized edition that collects and expands upon Jim's adventures for the whole new generation of champions to come. With chapters written by each of the characters on their special area of expertise, DreamWorks Trollhunters: A Brief Recapitulation of Troll Lore: Volume 48 takes readers through everything they need to know about their magical world.

Book Description

From controversial cryptozoologist and explorer Dr. Veronica Wigberht-Blackwater, The Compendium of Magical Beasts is a definitive field guide that explores the history, biology, and anatomy of mythological creatures. Approaching the fantastic with a scientific eye, Dr. Wigberht-Blackwater explains the history, habits, and biology of each creature's existence with equal attention to detail. Her research is accompanied by stunning scientific illustrations of each specimen's anatomy, providing a comprehensive view of creatures most often dismissed as pure fantasy. Combining biological fact with folklore, cultural studies, and history, this volume is crucial to science both fringe and mainstream. Locked in a dusty attic for almost a century, Dr. Wigberht-Blackwater's trailblazing work was recently discovered by writer Melissa Brinks, who spent months transcribing the journals she found. Brinks joined forces with artist Lily Seika Jones to digitize the doctor's amazingly detailed anatomical diagrams in order to share these revolutionary findings with the world for the first time.

Book Description

As tall as trees and as ancient and rugged as the Norwegian landscape from which they come, trolls are some of lore's most fascinating and varied creatures. Some live under bridges, others deep inside caves. They can carry their heads under their arms or hide their hearts inside wells. They can walk across oceans and fly over mountains. Trees and shrubs may grow from their heads, and their noses can be long enough to stir soup. There are troll hags, troll daughters, and elderly, shrunken trolls. Old or young, they are quarrelsome, ugly, and boastful, and they love to trick princesses and children. To defeat them, children must rely on the strengths of their humanity-persistence, kindness, pluck, and willingness to heed good advice
