The Golden Mare, The Firebird, and the Magic Ring


Sanderson, R. (2001).  The Golden Mare, The Firebird, and the Magic Ring. New York, NY:  Little, 
           Brown and company.

This was a cute fairy tale.  Alexi, the hunter finds adventure with a magical horse, and a jelous Tsar.  With the help of the horse, he captures the firebird, and brings the Tsar a fine maiden to marry.  She tricks him and maries Alexi turning the Tsar into a baby.  They raise the baby as their own, the firebird is released as is the horse, who always helped him as he became the new Tsar.
