Part 9 - Like A Cat To Sour Cream | Vasilisa The Brave
The Three Ravens PodcastPlay episode
Show notes
A new telling of a classic tale based on Slavic folklore, this special Three Ravens winter story is our bonus mini series for Advent 2025.
Split into 21 parts, with one released every day up to Midwinter, the tale follows Vasilisa, a young girl who is uprooted from her life and thrown into adventures which carry her through the dark forest to find herself.
Despite her new powers, Vasilisa isn't immune to a distraction...
Eleanor’s 21-part fantasy coming-of-age adventure rooted in Slavic folktales, following a seemingly unremarkable girl sent on an epic, war-time quest by the witch Baba Yaga, who tasks her with stealing a fern flower from the dark and dangerous sorcerer Koschei The Deathless.
