Truls, Torolv, Trond and Tord are brothers, as well as experts at climbing and performing amazing tricks. They are particularly lively and happy trolls and they can jump huge distances, steering with their tails. Even though they are brothers they’re quite different. Truls is the oldest. His favorite pastime is visiting the farms where humans live and tying intricate and complex troll knots on everything he sees. .
Torolv loves hiding things from people. Normally only house elves do this, but since he fell down from a pine tree – that’s what he thinks he is. Trond is shortsighted, so has difficulty working out distancesThis means that he’s constantly bumping into things and is always covered in bumps and bruises. Tord has the habit – or perhaps we should say bad habit – of crawling into all kinds of holes he finds in the trees he climbs. This is simply so that he can hide and jump out at the other climbing trolls. But it isn’t just the climbing trolls he frightens. Many a squirrel and woodpecker has had the fright of their lives when Tord has come tumbling into their home. And once inside, he sometimes gets stuck and is completely unable to come out again.
