Book description
It began and ended with turnips.

Little Marusia was searching for them in the forest. Then she saw Baba Yaga and she was too frightened to move.

Marusia was to come to know this fascinating figure from Russian folk literature, with her house on chicken legs, her magic brews and potions, her irascible temper and her appetite for BAD Russian children. As Marusia and her friend the hedge-hog match wits with Baba Yaga a most marvelous story unfolds.

Baba Yaga is presented as a central character in a tale that vibrates with her personality. Drawn from many sources of Baba Yaga lore, she swirls through these pages of text and illustrations with vigor, her fascinating yet essentially harmless nature never better stated for an American audience.
