Reading Notes, Part B: Celtic Fairy Tales:

Bibliography: Celtic Fairy Tales: The Tale of Ivan, by Joseph Jacobs with illustrations by John D. Batten (1892).


I liked how Ivan stayed true to the advise that his master gave him and everything worked out. I feel like there aren't many stories like that out there. The main character always seems to deviate from what he's been taught these days. I think I would like to keep the story line fairly similar, maybe focus on one part of the story and blow it up and flesh it out (particularly the part about the Inn). I think this story would be a lot of fun to re-write.
