I love Russian Folk tales, I have been reading them since childhood and my favorite ones are the ones where Ivan Bilibin is the artist, he is amazing and one of the best illustrators of his era. The only thing I didn't like about this particular book, is that the colors are not very good, the printing process seems to be off, in one page you see the character in bright colors, and in the next page the same character's colors seem faded or too dark, and it has nothing to do with the character being in a dark environment (for instance, at dusk or at night) but it seems to be just a problem with the editing/printing of the graphics. Still, if you don't mind those little defects, this story is beautiful and the drawings even more. I have read this story in a different book some years ago, and the colors where bright and vibrant throughout the book, that's why I can tell, there's a big difference with this one. You'll enjoy it anyway, Russian Folk Tales are amazing :)
It is an old and lovely tale nicely told. The illustrations are unusually beautiful Ivan Bilbin was a great master and he captures not just the plot but its flavor. I understand that there is a hardcover book with this and other stories available. I am seriously considering its purchase.
This is a short tale of the Russian Fairy Tale of Vasilisa and Baba Yaga.In this version some illustrations are present which are detailed and enhance the story line.Overall, a quick but fun story.
Beautiful illustrations, which is what so many great old fairytale books are all about . Wonderful tale about carrying a mother's love throughout life to face terrifying challenges! This illustrated version shows up especially nicely as an ebook as well. I was very impressed with the detail on my ipad. but glad I have the paperback version at hand.
This story is a good read for those who like fairytales. It also contains a couple of colored illustrations. The thing I liked most was the story contained some bits and pieces from similar fairytales that were put together to make a very enjoyable read.
I remember sitting on my daddy's lap as a small child, and him reading this story to me.As I grew older, I realize how profound is the story!The artwork is exquisite.Highly recommended
Classic genre and great reading for the G-kids. Sneaky way to introduce some basic "pa-russkyi" greetings with culture. The illustrations are nicely detailed.
This has become one of my favorite rairy tales, aybe the name doesn't tell you much, but once you get into the story you'll easily identify the characters by other names.Absolutely loved the illustrations, victorian plates like these embellish any story!
