Critic Reviews
“"The real star is Utkin's breathtaking visuals, in which chalky textures and vibrant tones of mustard, ruby, and cerulean create striking moments: avian and terrestrial beasts do battle, a furry house spirit tends to his work, an enchanted son wanders mindlessly." -- Publishers Weekly "This book is so cool, nicely designed, and bold panels that do great service to the storytelling work. Utkin is an artist, for sure. And this book has everything -- stray apples, a lion king (no, not that one), magic dolls, giant lobsters, wooden guards, and magical snakes -- plus, so much more! I can see this book being a go-to on the classroom bookshelf" --Dr. J Reads”
Gamayun Tales I collects together three of Alexander Utkin's interconnected stories based on traditional Russian folklore, filled with warm firelight and heroic strangeness [...] Utkin's words and images weave powerfully together to create an enduring sense of enchantment. The Guardian
