Magic Pike Nesting Doll
My mom who grew up in the Soviet Union used to tell me this sad but inspiring story and when I was looking for a nesting doll set I came across this one. It spoke to me and I had to add it to my collection of about 30. This set is so beautiful and the painting work is excellent. I paid much more for sets that are not as nice as this. As pretty as it is it is a good reminder to not ask for too much and to be happy with what we have. If you do not know the story there are many versions but all about the smae. Be happy and I am glad to find these dolls.
