For all ages on both sides of the Atlantic. In 1944, Øyvind Dybvad had an inspiration for a new cartoon series based on Norwegian folk tales. The series received the resounding name of Tuss og Troll [Gnomes and Trolls]. Other than in 1947, this classic series has been published every year in Norway by Norsk Barneblad. Tuss og Troll is based on the collection of Peter Christen Asbjørnsen and Jørgen Moe, as well as others. Jens R. Nilssen, a master at drawing trolls, illustrated the series from 1944-1956. In 1957, Solveig Muren Sanden followed as illustrator and became known for her kinder trolls in the Norwegian landscape. She is one of Norway’s greatest cartoonists, particularly known for her work with Tuss og Troll.
