About the Author:
Edgar Parin d'Aulaire (1898—1986) studied art in Germany and France, and worked with Henri Matisse. In Munich, he met Ingri Mortenson (1904—1980), a Norwegian-born art student. They married, emigrated to the US, and began a long career together, during which they published over twenty picture books for children. The Magic Rug was followed by Ola and East of the Sun and West of the Moon, both of which describe Norwegian folklore. Their work shifted to American history with Abraham Lincoln, a biography which won the 1940 Caldecott Medal. The d'Aulaires were awarded the Regina Medal from the Catholic Library Association in 1970.
Review:
“The d’Aulaires have...created magical, luminous illustrations that capture the humor of this Norwegian folk tale.” –School Library Journal
"Another standard from the Caldecott Award–winning d'Aulaires, The Terrible Troll-Bird (also first published in 1955), tells how a group of Norwegian villagers defeated the titular avian (effectively a huge rooster intent on stealing livestock) and its owners, a pair of nasty trolls." --Publishers Weekly
“The d’Aulaires were, of course, the singularly gifted author-illustrators, creators, by the score, of timeless children’s books...a number of their books...are still in print, classics that make for perfect gifts each and every year.” –Smithsonian Magazine
