TrollElgen

This the story of a wizard elk Rauten as people called him He was a human being in animal guise The story begins in Ré Valley which lies like a yawning gap between mountains long and flat with borders of forests so dark that they look as though part of the blackness of night lingered in them A river moves sluggishly along the bottom of the valley making its way slowly and carefully between stretches of lightred sand It runs northwards a rare thing in Norway
