THE
WHIRLWIND CARRIED AWAY GOLDEN TRESS
from the story THE KINGDOMS OF COPPER,
SILVER, AND GOLD in The Russian Story Book collated and retold by Richard
Wilson, illustrated by Frank C. Papé.
Our story is about a Tsaritza known as the
Golden Tress. She lived in a far-away kingdom and was married to the Great
White Tsar. The Golden Kiss was said to be so beautiful that twice each day she
caused the sun to blush a rosy red, once in the morning as he rose across the
steppe, and once in the evening as he bade farewell to the white world.
Now the Great White Tsar and his Tsaritza,
Golden Tress, had three sons and one great enemy - Whirlwind the Whistler, whom she feared
greatly, because this impetuous foe had vowed with a shriek and a howl to come
at sunset and whisk away Golden Tress from the palace.
One evening Golden Tress went out with a
company of maidens and nurses to walk in the gardens of the palace, and
Whirlwind saw his chance. He rushed down upon the palace garden, blinding the
eyes of all so that they could not see what tricks he was playing; and when the
maidens and nurses opened their eyes they saw nothing at all and heard nothing
at all except a far-off call of distress and a shriek of spiteful fury.
But what happened to the Golden Tress? Well,
you’ll have to read the book to find out for yourself!
