The Smith, the Apple Tree and the Purse at Otterstad

Västergötland · Sverige · Site of legend

A smith at Otterstad had signed himself over to the Fiend but received three wishes from St Peter: whoever he bade into his apple tree, his chair or his purse had to stay. Time and again he caught the Fiend and forced him to delay collection, and at last he crushed him in the purse on his anvil. When the smith himself died he was turned away from both hell and heaven – and where he went, no one knows.
