Charming reimagining of Baba Yaga, the grey wolf, and Ivan Tsarevich. Illustrations were delightful.

Such a beautiful story.
A gorgeous, feel good fairytale. Reading this story made me feel like I had walked in to a magical forest and was wandering through exploring the whole time. The descriptions are stunning, and the illustrations bring the tale to life.
I loved the main characters, the writing, and the illustrations.
I loved this book - it's one I would read to my future kids, should I ever have any. ;)

Zima is a wolf that has always been taught to fear Baba Yaga - the witch in the forest. But, when Zima's brother is gravely injured and may die, Zima must take him to Baba Yaga as her magic is all that may save him. The wolf and the witch then strike a bargain that will have mutual benefits.
This is a lovely fairy tale of which I was unfamiliar. I love Sutton's notes in the back on Baba Yaga in various iterations.
