Abstract. The article examines the only children’s tale by N. A. Teffi "Baba Jaga. Folk Tale". The paper focuses on the motives of the writer’s appeal to the Russian folklore, indicates the tale original source - the tale from A. N. Afanasyev’s collection. The researcher identifies the author’s element in the story in comparison with traditional fabulous images and argues that Teffi subjected Baba Jaga’s folkloric image to deep moral and ethical transformation conditioned by both biographical factors and general socio-cultural situation in the Russian emigr? society.
