comment |
"Prince Ivan, the Witch-Baby and the Little Sister of the Sun" is a Russian Fairy Tale included by Alexander Afanasyev in Russian Folk Tales (Narodnye russkie skazki or Народные Русские Сказки) and later collected by Arthur Ransome in Old Peter's Russian Tales.Once upon a time, there was a prince called Ivan who was dumb from birth. Ivan used to spend most of his time in the stables, listening to the old groom's tales, until one day the groom warned him his mother was going to give birth to a witch who will grow into adulthood within weeks and will eat their parents; and unless he runs away, she will eat him up, too. Prince Ivan ran up to his father and asked him for a horse, and the king happily gave him his best steed.Ivan rode far away, and he successively came upon two old seamstresses, the giant Vertodúb the Tree-Extractor and the giant Vertogór the Mountain-Leveler. He asked each of them if they would not let him live with them, and everyone replied they would love adopting him, but they will fall dead as soon as their current works are done. Ivan wept for all of them and rode yet farther until he reached the ends of Earth and found the castle of the Sister of the Sun.The Sister of the Sun gladly welcomed Ivan and treated him kindly. However, Ivan's worry about his home made him restless. He tried to keep his homesickness hidden from the Sun's Sister, but she figured it out after several days. Then Ivan begged her for permission to go back home and find out what had happened to everybody. The Sun's Sister gave him a magic comb, a magic brush and two apples of youth, and she let him go.Ivan rode back home, using the Sun's Sister's gifts on the way to prolong the lives of the seamstresses and the two giants, and found his parents' palace was empty and laid in ruins. Ivan's sister came out to welcome him, and she asked him to sit down and play the harp while she prepared dinner. Ivan was starting to play the instrument when a mouse warned him his sister was sharpening her teeth. Ivan quickly hightailed it out of there while the mouse kept playing the harp, so the witch did not realize Ivan had left the palace.After a while, the witch realized Ivan had run away and took after him. The witch was even faster than Ivan's horse, but every time she was about to catch up with Ivan, those who had been helped by the prince put obstacles in her way.Prince Ivan's horse galloped nonstop until they reached the Sun's Sister palace and rushed into the place. The witch demanded her brother was handed over to her, but it was evident she had zero leverage. So, she offered her sister and his protector a deal: if Ivan proved to be heavier than her, she would let him kill her. Otherwise, she would eat him up. Two scales were set up, and Ivan stepped on one of the plates. Though, when the witch put her foot on the second plate, Ivan was hurled upwards with such a force than he reached the chambers of the Sun, where his sister could never reach him.The tale is in the Public Domain and can be read here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here.An audiobook can be heard here. |

Androcles' Lion: Prince Ivan uses the Sun's Sister's gifts to prolong the lives of the kind people who he met during his travel. In return, the pair of seamstresses give him a magic handkerchief, which he later uses to put distance between his sister and him, and the two giants put obstacles in his sister's way. |

Ominous Floating Castle: A rare non-villainous example. The Sister of the Sun's castle is made of rose clouds and hangs in the sky beyond the end of the world. It is the only place where Ivan can feel safe from his witch sister. |

Rule of Three: While on the run, it happens three times that Prince Ivan meets someone who would happily take him in if it were not because they will die as soon as their work is done. For three days straight, Ivan climbs up to a mountain to see his father's palace from afar and cries when he sees it has been laid to waste. The Sun's Sister gives Ivan three magic gifts before his departure. |

Our Giants Are Bigger: As running away from her murderous sister, Prince Ivan runs into Vertodúb the Tree-Extractor and Vertogór the Mountain-Leveler, two Russian folklore giants known in Germany as Baumdreher/Holzkrummacher and Steinzerreiber/Felsenkripperer, respectively. He asks each of them for asylum, but both giants kindly reply they cannot take care of him, sadly, because they will die as soon as their current landscape-altering tasks are done. |
