Trolling

Trolling, Dam Trolls, With Ion Tallman. Beloved Troll collector Ion Tallman guides us through the history of the iconic Troll dolls. The Trolls story began in 1947-48 in a small Danish fishing village named Gjol (Troll museum now located there) when a Danish wood carver named Thomas Dam carved a doll for his daughter. Legend has it that he was inspired by a troll he saw at the lake eating lingonberries! Ion guides us through his extensive personal collection and discusses examples from a variety of eras and makers of these whimsical dolls.
