Southwest BabaYaga
As a child I loved Baba Yaga stories. Her house with chicken legs was wonderful. Now meet Alice Nizzy Nazzy, the witch of Santa Fe. With road runner feet and cactus yard, Alice is a Baba Yaga for America. Tomie DePaola's wonderful illustrations perfectly capture this retelling of the classic tale.

This review is from: Alice Nizzy Nazzy: The Witch of Santa Fe (Hardcover)
The southwest flavor is wonderful. I live only three hours from Sante Fe. Both text and illustrations accurately give a "feel" for the area.I have read many versions of Baba Yaga.

The author and illustrator succeeded in changing the setting without changing the basics of who Baby Yaga is. It's a more light-hearted telling than some of the European versions.
