「おれはトロル。
ひずめや足音、肉や骨が石畳を踏みしめる音が大好きだ。だってよ、それは肉や骨の音なんだぜ!」

橋の下に住んでいつもお腹を空かせている恐ろしいトロル。
このトロルは、橋を渡ろうとする者を何でもむさぼり食います。
中でも一番の好物はヤギです。
蜂蜜がけのヤギの臀部、カレー風味のヤギ肉、トーストに塗ったヤギ肉など、何でもこのトロルは大好物なのです。
トロルは皮とヘソの中の何かを最後に食べた後、何も食べてませんでした。
そんな腹を空かせたトロルの頭の上の橋を、子ヤギが渡ろうとします……。

マーシャ・ブラウン版の「三びきのやぎのがらがらどん」とはまた違った味わいのあるジョン・クラッセンの絵本です。
