Easily my favourite of the three Hilda companion books 🤩This book has everything: updated maps, beautiful illustrations of Trolberg, and of course additional information by Hilda herself. I absolutely loved how this guide both builds on and expands on the information that we got in the other two companion books. And, of course the inclusion of things from Hilda’s adventure from “The Mountain King” was really sweet. (I’m going to try to see if I can make Trylla’s Troll mead sometime 😉). Great read overall. Will definitely be consulting this amazing Guide to Hilda’s home and adventures again soon ❤️

A great "guide" and tie-in book for any 'Hilda' fan.
'Hilda's World: A guide to Trolberg, the wilderness, and beyond' is so cute, cosy, exploratory, informative, and richly detailed - everyone who worked on this book outdid themselves and made an exceptional product for the fans. The town life, the places, the buildings, the histories, the traditions, the wilderness, the wildlife, the mysteries, the maps, and beyond - I'd really love to live in this world!
Hilda's World should be a theme park.
Now I just need to watch the third season of the Netflix series of this girl's and her friends' adventures in and around Trolberg, then maybe I'll get every reference here.
The book also, quite hilariously, confirms that Hilda has no last name, from looking at her school report card, which is one of the things/notes/doodles/photos stuck in by Hilda herself, who is one of the aggregators in this, her own "copy" of the "guide" for us to read, containing her own helpful and interesting information. It possibly, intentionally highlights that Hilda is on the autism spectrum. It's a subtle detail added to the plethora of worldbuilding and character facts the book graces us with.
'Hilda's World: A guide to Trolberg, the wilderness, and beyond''s only real flaw is it is obviously not an English book and was written and produced by Americans (despite it presumably being published by a British company, Flying Eye Books, based in London), as certain words are spelled differently. Like, it's "favourite", not "favorite", and Hilda's mother is "Mum", not "Mom"! That sounds so wrong.
Otherwise, it is a wonderful, colourful, endearing, sweet, funny treat, to go back to over and over again. It is a must-have if you love and adore 'Hilda' - the Netflix cartoon or any other media of her.

Final Score: 4/5

Written like a guide book to Trolberg and the wilderness around it. The guide book has some additions made by Hilda. Its a cute book that fans of the show will eat up.

A fun little escape from my fizzing at the time and an eagerness to rewatch the series.

Read with my daughter. Though I think she prefers the actual stories more than lore books like this.

If you are a fan of Hilda (the books, graphic novels, or the tv series) this is a fun companion book. It’s a tour guide with plenty of notes by Hilda based on her adventures.
