Baba Yaga: The greatest 'wicked witch' of all?

[yellowdogintexas]

6. I loved Hexed in Texas!!! It was a riot! I want another Baba Yaga book from her!

I love Spirited Away and Baba Yaga . There is a character in Howl's Moving Castle who resembles Baba Yaga in looks anyway.

Started a book a long time ago which featured a lot of not very nice creatures from Russian Folk tales. I could not recall the name so I went to Mr YD's bookshelf and found the author (he has a ton of books by this author C J Cherryh) Once I found the name I could find the book on Amazon. This author is highly prolific!

The book I started: Rusalka. (Pyetr and Sasha's flight to Kiev is interrupted when they stumble upon a wizard intent on bringing the spirit of his murdered daughter back to life ) There are two more with Russian folk tale themes:
Chernevog (In spirit-haunted ancient Russia, Eveshka, a destructive ghost restored to life, seeks her mother, and Kavi Chernevog, freed from a binding stone slab, stretches forth his power and wizardry )and Yvgenie (In ancient Russia, the battle between good and evil draws in three young wizards--Pyetr, Eveshka, and Sasha )

They are not billed as a series but there may be a loose connection..Mr YD told me he thought I would like them so I started Rusalka. I was enjoying it but stopped for some reason - may have been the tiny print. These books have to be out of print because they are very expensive.
