Karl's home built into a tree.

The Thief

Welcome to another adventure from the Thousand Acre Woods deep within Trollheim of the NJ Pine Belt! Tales Chronicled by Jonathan Hulton. That's me. Today I'm going to tell of the tale of how me and Bosco the Bear rushed to Karl's aid when his house was being robbed...

 

I was walking with Bosco through the Thousand Acre Woods, and as we just reached Trollheim, I noticed Karl running from his home. "Help! There is a thief in my house!" Karl was yelling franticly.

Karl running from his house with Hulton and Bosco watching confused.

My first thought would be, Who would rob a Troll…

"Is he still there?" I asked as Bosco squared his shoulders, reading himself.

"Why...I believe so?"

So Bosco, being a bear, barely waited before I could open the door to rush in, roaring.

I followed with Karl in the rear.

Bosco busting into Karl's house with Hulton behind him and Karl safely in the rear peeking in.

At first glance, we found no one.

Then Karl began yelling, "Come out, come out, little thief."

We checked every room, with Karl entering last and leaving first.

"Do you notice anything missing?" I asked hesitantly. Karl and Gramps do indulge in some mysterious stuff from his garden...

"I'm not sure; there could be somethings..."

"Well, how do you know there was a thief?"

Bosco sat on his rear hindquarters and gave a bemused look.

Everyone confused at Karl's story.

“I was tossing and turning in my bed—when I remembered that thieves break into houses without a sound and move very, very quietly. I could hear nothing, so it was then I knew that there must be a thief in the house—you fools!”

Bjorn looking sad on a log.

 

Bosco swiped him in the ass and pushed through his front door.

Bosco leaving after swiping Karl in the ass with Hulton looking on.

Following the Harry N. Abrams, Inc. tradition of the series that created Brian Froud's and Alan Lee's Faeries and Gnomes by Wil Huygen and Rien Poortvliet, we present you with what would have been the next book in the series: Trolls: A Compendium. Trolls—do you think you know what they are? Could you be wrong?

Trolls within Scandinavian lore, myth, saga, fantasy, and folktales are actually anything magical within our northern neighbor's culture. Richly illustrated (Over 600 paintings) in this volume are the tales of faeries, dwarves, nissen, huldras, gods, Jotuns, draugar, ghosts, and more. Also, this book introduces our readers to the world of Trollheim, populated by Nattrolls that escaped the 17th-century Swedish colony within the New Jersey Pine Barrens. Narrated by Christopher Jonathan Hulton, who lives in the Thousand Acre Woods just after the Civil War, their tales are filled with Native American lore and tales of their neighbor, the Jersey Devil.
