Troll Valley reviewed at Evangelical Outpost
And in all our excitement over Hailstone Mountain, let’s not forget Troll Valley. David Nilsen posted a flattering review today at Evangelical Outpost. Part of that is due to Walker’s writing ability. He spends a good chunk of the first third of the book describing life and work on a farm in Minnesota, including extended … Continue reading Troll Valley reviewed at Evangelical Outpost
Syttende Mai in Troll Valley
A postcard (“Yes, we love this land!”) promoting the 1905 independence referendum in Norway. What could be more appropriate, as a commemoration of Syttende Mai, Norway’s glorious Constitution Day, than to publish a short excerpt from a classic work of Norwegian-American literature? I refer, of course, to Troll Valley by Lars Walker, which you can … Continue reading Syttende Mai in Troll Valley
Troll Valley reviewed at Land of Caleb
Caleb Land at Land of Caleb reviews Troll Valley. Simply put, we need many, many more e-books like this one. Walker writes from a distinctly Christian worldview, but is able to avoid so much of the sentimentalist and moralistic errors of the majority of Christian fiction. This is a novel about the law and about … Continue reading Troll Valley reviewed at Land of Caleb

Our friend Frank Luke was kind enough to review Troll Valley for the men’s magazine of the Assemblies of God Church. You can read the review online here. From what he says, it seems like a remarkable book. I’m not sure I recognize it, though. Also, Joe Carter included Troll Valley in his occasional list … Continue reading Troll Valley gets noticed
Phil’s Review of Troll Valley
I finished Troll Valley last night, and like many of you, loved it. His characters have authentic voices and raise questions that are not clearly answered. His main character, Christian Anderson, follows a story arc somewhat similar to the priest of Graham Greene’s The Power and the Glory, being a sympathetic boy who grows into … Continue reading Phil’s Review of Troll Valley

I’m going to try to do a splashier announcement when the Kindle version is available too, but for now Troll Valley is available for your Nook (plus a couple odd formats for phones and things, as I understand it) from Lulu. I’m a Kindle guy myself, and strongly object to this discrimination in favor of … Continue reading Troll Valley on sale (Nook)
Snippet Five, Troll Valley
The “Old Stone Church,” Kenyon, Minnesota. Photo: Lars Walker. [The book is coming out soon. I promise. We’re that close. ljw] THE PRESENT “What the—what kind of crap is this?” Shane demanded. “ʽCrap’ is an interesting word,” said Robert Swallowtail. “Very marginal. I might have to use the soap on you, just to be prudent.” … Continue reading Snippet Five, Troll Valley
Snippet Four, Troll Valley
“Meadow Elves,” by Nils Blommer (1850) I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked up to see Miss Margit’s face, faceted in my tears. That face, longish and stern, with the gold blaze in the black hair above her right eye, could be gentle when she chose, and her gray eyes would soften with … Continue reading Snippet Four, Troll Valley
