Andy, 
Baba Yaga's story is here:
http://www.mythinglinks.org/BabaYaga.html and here:
http://hazel.forest.net/whootie/stories/baba_yaga_russia.html
Looks like the source for these stories is "Baba Yaga"
from "Baba Yaga and the Little Girl with the Kind
Heart" from Old Peter's Russian Tales (Jonathan Cape
Ltd: London, 1916), pp. 90-105....

Hope this helps
