But when one young scamp, Tovik, grows tired of hearing his family s tales of adventure, he decides to go on an adventure of his own. On Christmas Eve, he sets out to win a jewel for the kind farmer s daughter, Adelgunda, on her wedding day. But that means he must sneak into the giant trolls cave on the one night they count their riches and get back out before sunrise or risk being trapped in the cave for a year, or even worse eaten in a pie! Can Tovik have his own adventure of a lifetime and live to tell the tale? A hilarious, thrilling tale from Sweden on the power of bravery and generosity from the smallest of all.
