Sweet, lovely Vasilisa lives with her jealous stepmother and stepsisters
on the edge of a dark forest inhabited by the evil witch Baba Yaga. One
night the stepmother sends Vasilisa to visit Baba Yaga, an errand from
which the gentle girl has little chance of returning alive. "An engaging
text and accomplished paintings set this version apart....A stylized and
classy offering."--School Library Journal.
