The scene of this fairy-tale is set in the Far North. The land where the Sun travels across the sky in a sleigh drawn by the Deer with the Golden Antlers, and where Blizzard, the wicked witch, rules the Night. The people inhabiting these cold regions have their own tales and legends in which brave and resourceful heroes come to grips with and triumph over the evil forces of Nature.
Janna Vitenzon, a children’s writer, has based her story of Brave Yatto and his sister Teune on the folk tales of the Nentsy, one of the nationalities living in the Far North of the Russian Federation

Drawings by L. Aristov Diafilm Studios, 1970
