that was hysterically funny...and also excellent. I'm obsessed with Russia (the review name is my user name, I'm just not logged in, and I have a Durmstrang-esque story running at the moment.) and FINALLY! someone else who knows Vassilisa the Beautiful! SPASIBO!

I know these yarns of huts that spin on chicken legs, and this is excellent. More Karkarov yarns soon, I hope.

Nice tone throughout! (sorry, writing group moment) _ The ending wouldn't happen to have anything to do with that Animagus picture on your LJ...?
