Vasilisa (Василиса)

More Russian based pieces, this one is spun off the russian fairy tale called Vasilisa the Beautiful. In the fairy tale, Vasilissa is the heroine of a Russian fairy tale who starts out as a poor girl and ends up marrying the Czar. (You can read the fairytale here, link opens in another window : http://www.surlalunefairytales.com/babayaga/index.html. Beautiful story and certainly more spunky than Cinderella, more of a mix of Cinderella and Rumpelstiltskin ).
