Anna Morgunova is an award-winning children's book illustrator. Anthea Bell is an award-winning translator who has translated numerous Cornelia Funke novels and many Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen stories, including The Pied Piper of Hamelin and The Snow Queen.
"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
