It was only two years ago when I first read this and already I longed for reading this Russian winter fairy tale of courage, bravery and sacrifice. The aesthetics are so pleasing to the mind-eye, it calms and relaxes, telling it's ancient stories. I always read too fast, enchanting as it is. Luckily there are two more following. And I have now bought them all in hardback to ensure I will enjoy them again someday.
