Someone is stealing the king’s famous golden apples and the culprit must be found. The palace gardener spots the luminous Firebird snatching the apples and the king’s two oldest sons are sent to capture it but fail.
Ivan, the youngest son, must go on the dangerous quest, which sees him befriending a gray wolf and winning both the Firebird and the heart of the beautiful Princess Helen. Saviour Pirotta’s powerful retelling of this classic folktale plumbs the heart of human fears, courage, and love.
