                                      BABA YAGA

In Russian folklore there are a lot of stories about a scary witch called Baba Yaga. Baba Yaga is an ugly old woman with a long nose and a "bony leg". She lives deep in the forest in a hut standing on extra-large chicken legs. She usually flies around in a large mortar and pushes herself through the forest with a broom. Although she is an old crone, Baba Yaga is a wise woman and can sometimes give advice and magical gifts to heroes.
