Soap-Bubble Stories

A River-Troll can stop every fountain in the village—except the one he most wants to reach. So Terli grabs an old horse by the head and demands a favor.

In a mountain village perched above a lake, water bubbles from street corners and even from the old Church’s walls. Terli roams freely, teasing the villagers, but the Church Fountain keeps him from the terrace—and from the wedding he is determined to disrupt. With a Wood-Troll’s help, he hopes to slip past that barrier and make the newlyweds’ happiness curdle. But a clever mother is already asking questions, and Terli’s mischief may not go quite as he plans. Can the village outwit a troll who knows every stream and trough?
