The magic and folklore of the wild, windswept North come alive in this book about an adventurous little girl and her habit of befriending anything, no matter how curious it might seem.While on an expedition to illustrate the magical creatures of the mountains around her home, Hilda spots a mountain troll.

On her way home, Hilda befriends a lonely wooden man, and narrowly avoids getting squashed by a lost giant.This brand new hardback edition of "Hilda and the Troll" (previously sold as em>Hildafolk" in paperback) is packed with bonus, never-before-seen content and offers a fresh chance to read the very first outing in Luke Pearson's ever-popular series of magical Hilda adventures.Luke Pearson, author of "Hilda and the Midnight Giant," "Hilda and the Bird Parade," and "Everything We Miss," has fast become one of the leading talents of the UK comics scene.

Every culture has wisdom but in modern times much of it has been lost. The first three years of life are too important for experiments, but the Montessori guidelines presented here have held true all over the world, no matter what the culture of the child, for over 100 years. It is the goal of this book to help parents look for, discover, appreciate, and support the mental, physical, and emotional needs of the child in the first three years of life. There are over 180 black and white pictures from the author's work around the world with children from birth to three years of age. "The Joyful Child" is used in Montessori teacher training centers, middle school human development classes, birth preparation classes, and it is of interest to anyone studying education and child development. It has been translated into several languages and is often used as a text for parenting classes.
