A Hut on Chicken Legs information


Drawing by Ivan Bilibin for the cover of the book Tales of the Hut, 1931

A Hut on Chicken Legs is the dwelling (hut) of Baba Yaga in Russian fairy tales.[1]

"A hut on chicken legs, one window, with a covered red porch"; "on chicken legs, on spindly heels" — stood in the forest on two huge chicken legs, which turned the hut at the first request of the "good young man":[2]

"Izbushka, izbushka, turn to me backwards, to the forest — backwards", "Izbushka, izbushka! Turn to the forest with your back and to me with your front", "Turn there with your palace and there with your porch", "Turn to the forest with your eyes and to me, young man, with your gates"

The place of transition from the earthly world to the netherworld; turning, the hut opens its door to the world of the living, then to the world of the dead, so the hero can not step on the ground of the netherworld and is forced to walk on the thread of the unwinding ball. The hut is guarded by Baba Yaga.[3]
