A Finnish university is about to give a student a PhD in troll-lore:
Master of Philosophy Camilla Asplund Ingemark, 30, has researched the subject for six years. She will defend her doctoral dissertation, which is classified as a work on folklore, at the Ãbo Akademi University in Turku on Friday.
The study describes the world of trolls according to the beliefs in the folklore of Swedish-speaking Finns.
