The Frog Princess

"The time has come for the three royal sons to get married. They set out to seek their fate: they went into the open field and shot arrows from their bows. The arrows of the elder brothers were picked up... by the daughters of boyars and merchants, while the fate of the youngest Ivan-Tsarevich led him to a swamp: a frog caught his arrow. There was no choice, he had to marry. But Ivan-Tsarevich did not know that his wife was the enchanted Vasilisa the Wise"…
The illustrations for the magical story of the frog princess belong to the brush of Tatiana Mavrina - one of the greatest domestic artists-illustrators of the 20th century. Her works are infused with genuine love for Russian folklore and easily, recognizably, and accurately convey the colorfulness of folk tales.
