I enjoyed this Russian fairy tale, a sort of a darker version of Cinderella. Thanks to the #ChildrensClassicRead2021 for I have not read of the legend of Baba Yaga before this! 🤦‍♀️

I jumped ahead. I enjoyed December‘s book. I searched YouTube & there were a few narations of the book ( some better than others). Here is one:

#It is an alien who harvests children...and Baba Yaga is an old crone/witch from Russian fairy tales who lives in a house with chicken feet and while she doesn't really seem to eat children, she definitely threatens too. It hides in the sewer, Baba Yaga hides in the woods, they both do a lot of luring....you see where I'm going here. 🎃 #monstermadness2017

julesG Oh yes, forgot about her. She fits the bill. 7y

LibrarianRyan 👍🏻🤓👻 7y

Leniverse Baba Yaga sometimes helps travellers though. I'd much rather run into her than a killer clown! 😬 7y

Natasha.C.Barnes @Leniverse She's totally more of a neutral presence that an evil one and I'd be pleased to meet her voluntarily! But I couldn't think of anything else...😆 7y
