The Baba Yaga tale presented on this site is classified as AT-313H*: The Girl Escapes from a Witch. This tale type does not have any other tales translated into English to my knowledge. However, it is closely related to two other tales already presented on SurLaLune, AT-327A: Hansel and Gretel and the ever popular AT-510A: Cinderella.

Since this section of SurLaLune is primarily devoted to the Baba Yaga character, and not a specific tale, this section presents tales in which Baba Yaga appears, regardless of tale type classification. Andreas Johns' Baba Yaga: The Ambiguous Mother and Witch of the Russian Folktale was an invaluable resource. His book also offers a significantly longer list of Baba Yaga tales in other languages, many not readily available in English translation, which are outside the scope of this site.
