SHE PUT
HER GOOD STEED TO THE WALLS AND LEAPT LIGHTLY OVER THEM
from the story HOW
STAVR THE NOBLE WAS SAVED BY A WOMAN’S WILES in The Russian Story Book collated
and retold by Richard Wilson, illustrated by Frank C. Papé.
The story goes thus - Stavr the Noble
lived in Chernigof, and when the daughter of Prince Vladimir was honoured at
her father’s feast he was among the guests. Despite all his riches and wealth
he counted one treasure above all else – his wife Vasilissa.
The table of Prince Validmir was
silent at the end of Stavr’s speech until someone said:
“Prince Vladimir, Fair Sun of Kiev, it
is not meet to permit this boaster to flout us all. Let him be cast into a
cold, dark dungeon, and then let his young wife Vasilissa buy all Kiev town in
one market and sell it in the next, let her by her wiles deceive us all, and
let her, if she can, drive even Prince Vladimir out of his mind.”
And so the
challenge was laid and Lord Stavr was cast into a prison for his wife Vasilissa
to rescue by using her wiles.
