By Arthur Michell Ransome ● Pictures by Uri Shulevitz
The Czar has made a dazzling promise: whoever brings him a flying ship may marry his daughter. The youngest son, often dismissed as a fool, sets out anyway and meets a group of extraordinary travelers, each with a gift that seems impossible. This Russian folktale moves with the feeling of a quest, full of magical helpers, royal challenges, and comic surprises. Arthur Ransome’s retelling and Uri Shulevitz’s illustrations make the story feel both old and wonderfully alive, inviting young readers to cheer for the underestimated hero and wonder which strange talent will matter next.
