To be able to write a rendition of an old fairy tale and place it in the modern world is sheer genius to me. Although I was unfamiliar with the fairy tale, I loved it. The author doesn't waste time with a lot of explanations why the parents had to go Russia, they simply did, allowing the main theme of the fairy tale to take center stage.Aunt Karina was wonderfully drawn and while I was unfamiliar with this particular fairy tale, I certainly knew of Baba Yaga! I loved the story and the cover is simply gorgeous. Something that doesn't get talked a lot about is the length of a book. This one is appropriately short and very easy to read to children or grandchildren. This is one that I definitely will be reading to mine.It's a wonderful book no matter what your age - to believe in a magical tail feather allows all of us to become children again. Thank you Ms. Gousseva for sharing the gift of your writing!
