The Little Humpbacked Horse

"The Little Humpbacked Horse" is a famous fairy tale by Peter Yershov that schoolchildren read with great pleasure. It mocks the foolishness of the tsar and the boyars, while Ivan – a peasant's son – defeats his enemies with the help of a magical little humpbacked horse, because truth, goodness, and justice are on his side. He must catch the Firebird, embark on a quest for the Tsar-maiden, and experience many other exciting adventures.
