A brave, young huntsman, a magical golden mare, and a lovely, clever princess outwit a jealous, greedy Tsar in this original story based on elements from several traditional Russian folktales. When Alexi leaves home to seek his fortune, he spares the life of the Golden Mare who promises to be forever loyal. When Alexi will not give the Golden Mare to the Tsar, he presents Alexi with impossible tasks. Each time, the Tsar threatens Alexi’s life if he fails, but each time (with the help of the Golden Mare) he succeeds. The final task is to bring Yelena the Fair to the Tsar for marriage. Can Alexi rely on his on wits to save Yelena and himself?
