Baba Yaga is a figure from Slavic folklore – your archetypal wicked witch, whose house is said to have walked the forest on chicken feet…

Here, her story gets a contemporary makeover, retold by 14–17 year olds on the Library’s Young Sparks project, which used stop motion animation techniques to explore traditional fairytales and folklore from around the world.

Young Sparks is generously supported by the Helen Hamlyn Trust.
