Book Description
Grade 2-5-Someone is stealing the Tsar's golden apples. When Ivan-Tsarevitch,
the ruler's youngest son, is sent to watch, he discovers that the
culprit is the magnificent firebird. Able to snatch only a single
feather, he embarks on a quest to find the bird, accompanied by
a faithful wolf with magical powers. In the course of the quest,
he is also required to search for a horse with a golden mane, and
battle Koshchei the Immortal to rescue Yelena the Beautiful. Spirin
has blended versions of three different traditional Russian tales
to create what the author's note refers to as an "original
composition."
