'She boiled water and poured it into the barrels, thus scalding the six robbers to death'
Illustration for The Wise Maiden and the Seven Robbers, from Myths and Legends of Russia, collected by Aleksandr Afanas'ev and translated by Norbert Guterman; published by The Folio Society: [link] Ink and gouache. _______________ Please, please do not reproduce or redistribute elsewhere without permission.  This tale is the wonderful Russian variant of the more famous Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves from the Thousand and One Nights; except here there are only seven robbers in total, and whereas Morgiana uses boiling oil in the Arabian Nights tale, here, the wise maiden uses boiling water. Thank you in advance for all your kind attention.   |
