The Fool and the Flying Ship

Long ago in Russia, a proclamation went out through all the land that whosoever could build a flying ship would win the hand of the Tsar’s daughter. But when a country bumpkin and his oddball crew of extraordinary friends show up to claim her, the dumbfounded Tsar quickly has second thoughts. This hilarious retelling of a fantastical Russian folktale is a delightful treat for your entire family. Part of the Rabbit Ears award-winning series We All Have Tales. Ages 5 and up.
