    Thanks so much for this! I'll be looking for those books. Comics are delightful, and so is the women's creative tradition vibrant

At the end of 2012, I looked over what I had read the previous year and came up with a list of Literary Discoveries.

Baba Yaga is an amorphous figure from Russian lore who is sometimes a Goddess, sometimes a malevolent figure, sometimes a shamanic guide, sometimes a witch, sometimes all four and more at once. Here, she reluctantly takes in the young Vasilisa, a courageous and clever girl eager to learn everything Baba Yaga can teach her.
