Vasilisa the Beautiful and Baba Yaga by Alexander Afanasyev

5.0

I have been reading a lot of books semi-based on this story and after reading the original for the first time I can say that I loved it. And now I’m even more excited to have read the other books that I did including The Bear and the Nightingale series and Vassa in the Night. If you want a more modern version of Vasilisa the Beautiful I would definitely read Vassa in the Night. The Bear and the Nightingale mostly just touches upon the Russian folktales rather than being a retelling. I think I am definitely going to be reading more of the original Russian folktales in the future.
