Book Description
The Prince and the Troll by Rainbow Rowell is a witty and unconventional short fairy tale that blends humor, fantasy, and heartfelt emotion. Written by the #1 bestselling author of Eleanor & Park and the Simon Snow series, this imaginative story reimagines classic fairy-tale tropes with a modern twist.
The story begins with a simple accident. One ordinary morning, a man drops his phone from a bridge into the murky water below. What seems like an inconvenience quickly turns into something unexpected when a mysterious creature living beneath the bridge retrieves it. Instead of the frightening troll of traditional legends, the creature is clever, curious, and surprisingly friendly.
From that moment on, the man and the strange being form an unusual connection. Every morning they meet for coffee above the bridge, sharing conversations and laughter that slowly turn their strange encounter into a genuine friendship. Despite living in completely different worlds—one in the busy human world above, the other in the shadowy waters below—the two discover an understanding that neither expected.
As their bond grows, questions about happiness, belonging, and the meaning of a “fairy-tale ending” begin to emerge. Can two very different beings truly find a happy ending together?
