Whirr. Whirr. Clunkety-clank Here comes Baba Yaga! Flying her mortar and pestle, the witch with the long iron nose scours the countryside for plump young children to eat. But will she be a match for the fiesty little girl she hopes to throw into her soup?

Vladimir Vagins remarkably detailed borders and intricate scenes will give readers chills and laughs as they read this witty tale.
