Down the Magic River

Oh, there won’t be any kingdom of order if the tsar has decided to retire! He’s bored with royal work; he wants to sit by the river with a fishing rod instead of on the throne. But the enemy doesn’t sleep—if you doze off, then a cannibal on the throne will be so that from the people only bones will remain!

That’s how it would have turned out, if not for Baba Yaga, the wise Vasilisa, and a city boy named Mitya Sidorov. A strange group, isn’t it? Mitya isn’t Ivan the Tsarevich, and not even Ivanushka the fool—so how did he end up in a fairy-tale kingdom? It’s very simple: he turned out to be related to Baba Yaga. Some people are really lucky!
