    Spanish Description

    Baba's Granddaughters

    La anciana Baba vive sola en una casita en lo alto del bosque de la montaña. Un día despierta sin querer a un lobo hambriento, que amenaza con comérsela. Astuta, Baba le propone un trato: su carne vieja está dura, pero si va a su casa al anochecer podrá elegir a una de sus tres nietas. Basado en la antiquísima figura búlgara de Baba Yaga —bruja, anciana, quizás la propia naturaleza—, este cuento popular enfrenta la astucia a la fuerza bruta y culmina en un ingenioso juego de palabras. La ilustradora Ina Hristova recrea la historia que su abuelo le contaba de niña.

    About the Book

    Old Baba lives alone in a little house deep in the mountain forest. One day she accidentally wakes a hungry wolf from her long nap, and he threatens to eat her. Quick-witted, Baba strikes a bargain: her old flesh is tough, she says, but if he comes to her house at nightfall he may choose one of her three granddaughters instead. Rooted in the ancient Bulgarian figure of Baba Yaga—crone, witch, perhaps even Mother Nature herself—this folk tale pits cunning against brute strength, ending in a clever linguistic twist. Illustrator Ina Hristova retells the story her grandfather once told her.
