Synopsis
He shot an arrow into the air.
It fell to earth he didn’t care where.
He didn’t want to do it but his father made him.
When the Tsar of all Russia tells you to shoot an arrow and marry the closest young thing to wherever it lands, that’s what you do.
Even if it lands in a swamp by a frog.
So Prince Ivan agrees to marry his green quarry, who is actually a charmed princess.
Wonderful Russian folk characters – including a fire-breathing bear, a wicked wizard, and the witch Baba Yaga – enrich this wonderful tale for children of all ages.
