Конёк-Горбунок (The Humpbacked Horse)

Pyotr Pavlovich Yershov (1815 - 1869)

The Humpbacked Horse (Конёк-Горбунок) is a version of the Golden-Maned Steed fairy-tale character type, although a large part of the plot of this story is based on Tsarevitch Ivan, the Fire Bird and the Gray Wolf. The titular little horse helps Ivan, a peasant’s son, carry out the many unreasonable demands of the czar. During his adventures, Ivan captures the beautiful magic firebird for the czar, keeps his magic horse, and finds his love. - Summary by Wikipedia and Mark Chulsky
