I know Baba Yaga is a character in Russian folk tales. She was in the version of Koschei The Undying that I had as a kid. I know she doesn't often turn up in stories about Koschei but she was in mine. I think. I'm pretty sure.
Well, she was definitely in the book of fairy tales I had and I'm pretty sure it was
that story. She was pretty scary. I did quite like the fact that she flew around in a tin bucket, though. Don't really know much about her except she can be portrayed as scary or as, well, maybe not benign but I know she isn't
always shown as being a baddie. She can grant wishes and other times she ... er, isn't so friendly. That's all I'm saying, lol. I want to be able to sleep tonight and it's nearly bedtime.
