Baba Yaga is an old hag who lives in a house built on chicken legs and
kidnaps small children. She is one of the most pervasive and powerful
creatures in all mythology. She appears in many forms: as Pupa, a
tricksy, cantankerous old woman who keeps her legs tucked into a huge
furry boot; as a trio of mischievous elderly women who embark on the
trip of a lifetime to a hotel spa; and as a villainous flock of ravens,
black hens and magpies infected with the H5N1 virus. But what story does
Baba Yaga have to tell us today?
This is a quizzical tale about one of the most pervasive and powerful
creatures in all mythology, and an extraordinary yarn of identity,
secrets, storytelling and love.
