But then a train arrives in the village, a train carrying a cornucopia of food, untold wealth, and a noble family destined to visit the Tsar in Saint Petersburg--a family that includes Ekaterina, a girl of Elena's age. When the two girls' lives collide, an adventure is set in motion, an escapade that includes mistaken identity, a monk locked in a tower, a prince traveling incognito, and--in a starring role only Gregory Maguire could have conjured--Baba Yaga, witch of Russian folklore, in her ambulatory house perched on chicken legs.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGregory Maguire\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the incredibly popular books in the Wicked Years series, including \u003ci\u003eWicked: \u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, \u003c\/i\u003ewhich inspired the musical.
