In this traditional Russian tale, a Prince goes on a great quest in search of the Princess he is meant to marry, with the help of the Fire Bird. But it's not quite as simple as that, as the Princess has an evil sister who places a spell on him! You can download this lovely fairy tale to print and read with the children, and for older children to read by themselves. We also have a collection of colouring pages illustrating the story.
