"East of the Sun and West of the Moon, the Troll Queen and her hideous daughter, Longnose, are preparing a wedding feast. The cake will be a Troll specialty -- gold nuggets baked in sea slime, frosted with diamonds and broccoli. The groom-to-be is a Prince. But why has he left Karen, the girl he loves, to marry a Troll with a nose three feet long and a personality so dreadful that poison ivy falls from her hair?

Nancy Willard and Barry Moser add their unique magic to the classic Norwegian story about a brave girl who's journeys "over sand and sea, towers and turtles, moonbeams and millstones" to rescue the Prince that should have been hers.
