Stories about the billy goats Bruce — a series of the most popular children's books in Norway in recent years. The old traditional Norwegian tale about how three billy goats encountered an evil troll is retold in a new, incredibly funny and talented way by Bjørn Rørvik. Familiar to every child from early childhood, the billy goats are not going out to pasture in the mountain meadows, but to school! Where they are in for many adventures and funny incidents. Many Russian readers already know Bjørn Rørvik from the series of stories about the Fox and the Piglet. The author is a laureate of the Norwegian Ministry of Culture's award for the best picture books. And the artist Gry Moursund created mischievous and childlike illustrations without which the book would not be so hilarious. The book is published in Russian for the first time — translated by Olga Drobot ("Waffle Heart", "Just Dozing. Winter from Start to Finish", "Sharky the Radish's Enemy", and others). One of the best-selling picture books in Norway — by 2019, more than 150,000 printed copies were sold!
