Princes, witches, horses, and wolves all find their way into this collection. Some, like the bullying giant, Kaschey the Deathless, and Baba Yaga, the frightening witch who can usually be softened by kind words, make an appearance more than once - helping or hindering heroic princes and beautiful princesses, who battle through magic and hardship to gain happiness from the mysterious 'thirtiethland beyond the twenty-seven kingdoms. Illustrated by the distinguished Finnish artist, Alexander Lindeberg.
