Join me as I discuss the Russian Fairy Tale Vasilisa The Beautiful. This is the story of a young woman named Vasilisa, who faces the cruelty of her step-mother's abuse and the terror of the forest witch, Baba Yaga. Through courage, wit, and the help of a special doll given to her by her mother, Vasilisa will go on to create her own destiny.

In this video I go over the story, then discuss my ideas and what I learned through research on the tale. I hope you enjoy my theories and share your own!
