Originally recorded by Pavol Dobšinský in the 1800s, this mythic Slovakian story is now retold by Michael the Slovak-American Storyteller. Michael, the youngest child of the youngest child of immigrants from Slovakia, aspires to honor the ancestors in sharing this magical Slavic folktale of Maruška.
