THE FOOL AND THE FISH: A Tale from Russia

by Alexander Nikolayevich Afanasyev ‧ RELEASE DATE: Sept. 1, 1990

Foolish youngest brother Ivan catches a pike that promises him as many wishes as he likes for its freedom.

With heroic figures engaged in the lively action, and with loving attention to opulent detail, Spirin evokes a traditional setting.
