A modern retelling of a classic folk tale brought to life through vivid, rich artwork
When Vasilisa's mother dies, she leaves behind a magical doll to look after Vasilisa in times of distress. And distress is close at hand when Vasilisa's father remarries, and her new stepmother and stepsisters send her on an errand to the terrifying witch Baba Yaga, who has an appetite for anything that enters the deep, dark forest.
But with her fearlessness and her magical doll, Vasilisa not only passes Baba Yaga's arduous tests, but she also obtains the magic she needs to free herself from a life of servitude. This enchanting retelling of a classic Russian folk tale is brought to spectacular life by Anna Morgunova's breathtaking art.
