Product Details

Katya’s grandmother gives her a magical Russian nesting doll to keep her safe as she ventures out into the world. Wandering into a city cursed with constant darkness and winter, she discovers that an evil Grand Vizier has placed a spell on a handsome prince who lies frozen in his palace. As she opens each part of the nesting doll, Katya releases a bear, a wolf, and a firebird who attempt to break the spell; but only Katya breaks it completely when she gives the prince love’s first kiss.
The story successfully combines elements from Slavic folklore with a female hero for a fresh, entertaining tale. The illustrations are lush, and worth lingering over.
