Erik Arensbak

Danish Trolls

Member Since: 1973

When Ken and Neta Arensbak came to this country from war torn Denmark in 1949, they brought with them scores of adventurous stories involving Scandinavian Trolls. They wanted their children to grow up with these legends as well, but the telling of these tails raised the question "What do Trolls realy look like?" So to bring his stories to life, Ken made them a Troll out of natural materials he had gathered. When friends and neighbors enjoyed the stories and wanted ones of their own, Neta and her children decided to make more Trolls using Ken's design, to give as presents. And now almost 40 years later, my family is still making their Trolls and adding new ones to the collection in the hope that you will enjoy them too!
