 | Join us for a lively discussion of a book about mythology! Our book for June is The Witch and the Tsar by Oleysa Salnikova Gilmore. In this blend of Russian mythology and history, the half-goddess Yaga is used to living on her own and mostly keeps to her hut in the woods. Rumours about her supposed cruelty and wicked spells spread constantly. But when her old friend Anastasia — now the wife of the tsar and suffering from a mysterious illness — arrives in her forest desperate for protection, Yaga realizes the fate of all of Russia is tied to Anastasia’s fate! Order your copy of the book from your favourite bookseller like Allstora.com or similar and come to the meeting with questions, comments, observations, or just have the book with you! No pressure, and a good time learning about mythology is guaranteed! You may call the Reference Desk at 989-755-0904 to reserve your copy, or send e-mail to reference@saginawlibrary.org.
