Baba Yaga | Related Tales

The Baba Yaga tale presented on this site is classified as AT-313H*: The Girl Escapes from a Witch. This tale type does not have any other tales translated into English to my knowledge. However, it is closely related to two other tales already presented on SurLaLune, Hansel and Gretel and the ever popular Cinderella.




Since this section of SurLaLune is primarily devoted to the Baba Yaga character, and not a specific tale, this section presents tales in which Baba Yaga appears, regardless of tale type classification. Andreas Johns' Baba Yaga: The Ambiguous Mother and Witch of the Russian Folktale was an invaluable resource. His book also offers a significantly longer list of Baba Yaga tales in other languages, many not readily available in English translation, which are outside the scope of this site.

These annotations are not completed yet, but will hopefully be finished in the near future.
