The Skull Lantern: A Russian Fairy Tale

Rate this book
Not all fairy tales end with “happily ever after.” Especially if they take place in the Russian wilderness. When a deathless skeleton king, a three-headed dragon, and a cannibalistic witch with a chicken-legged hut are involved, things are bound to get complicated. Enjoy this fresh take on Russian fairy tales as written and illustrated by acclaimed oil painter, Faina Lorah. This book provides a contemporary perspective on traditional Russian folklore with favorite characters such as Baba Yaga, Vasilisa, and Prince Ivan. It is told with approachable, modern English and meant to be treasured by a new generation. Each of the 22 illustrations began as a beautiful oil painting, making this treasure a work of art on its own!
