About The Golden Mare, The Firebird, And The Magic Ring
Product Description Brave deeds and wondrous magic come together in this retelling of the classic Russian folktale, with lavish full-color oil paintings. A young huntsman named Alexi leaves home seeking adventure and fortune. Instead, he finds the Golden Mare, who pledges eternal loyalty in exchange for sparing her life. With the mare's help, Alexi becomes the Tsar's best huntsman, but then the jealous Tsar presents him with several impossible tasks, threatening to have him killed if he fails. Each time, Alexi secretly enlists the help of the Golden Mare - and succeeds. But his final task is to win Yelena the Fair, a lovely young maiden whom the old Tsar wants as his bride. Will Alexi be able to use his own powers to save himself and Yelena? Review “Sanderson’s narrative has a lush, lyrical quality… Her dramatically lit firebird is nothing short of resplendent.” ―Publishers Weekly (starred review) “Sumptuous oils full of splendid colors and textures, and wonderful figures that might be portraits in their verisimilitude… Brilliantly painted.” ―Kirkus Reviews “Rich in color and decorative detail, the oil paintings have a distinctly narrative quality that enhances the book.”―Booklist About the Author Ruth Sanderson is the highly acclaimed illustrator of over 75 books for children.
