Winner of: 2015 19th Annual Wilde Awards, Picture Books, Ages 7 to 10 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.

Industry Reviews

"The art, so timeless and raw, offers a charged dream-life that suggests the primal nerve Vasilisa's story strikes in Morgunova is far stronger than the lure of revisionism." Soman Chainani, New York Times
"Bell's retelling is classical as she recounts the Russian fairy tale heroine who conquers the terrifying Baba Yaga with the help of her magical doll. Anna Morgunova's illustrations strengthen the story with image, symbolism and mood." Susie Wilde, Charlotte News & Observer
"The Russian tale of Vasilisa and Baba Yaga, reillustrated for a new generation . . . . mesmerizing illustrations . . . Older children and art students will respond warmly." Kirkus Reviews
