Finding Baba Yaga

Jane Yolen's retelling feels both timeless and deeply personal. I'm curious what motivated this blend of folklore and introspection.

The story kept me guessing whether Baba Yaga was a villain, a guide, or something in between. How did others interpret her role?

The lyrical style added a dream-like quality, but I wonder if that was a deliberate choice to evoke certain emotions or themes.
