The story evolves around Anfred, a little Norwegian troll who was fast asleep in his favourite spruce tree but awakes to find he has been transported all the way to London. Surrounded by large statues, millions of strangers, cars, and numerous pigeons, Anfred is afraid. Luckily for him he meets Hudson, a helpful, young boy hungry for a Christmas adventure.
