Review
A humorous and sweet -- and at times bittersweet -- story of Trille and his best friend Lena who live in a small cove in Norway. Told as a series of vignettes, Trille and Lena adventure and find trouble as they explore their countryside, recreate Noah's ark, and eat Auntie Granny's waffles. Lena, strong-willed and adventurous, comes across as a modern-day Pippi Longstocking. Trille worries that his feelings for Lena are unrequited but the story resolves sweetly in the end. Translated from Norwegian by Guy Puzey.
