I have several different ideas when it comes to possible storybooks
that I might do. The first of them being a story book based off the Brothers Grimm. I would take a story that they did not write that was familiar to me and
turn it into a Brothers Grimm esk story. I would make the story or series of
stories sound as if they wrote it. I would turn a couple happy children’s
stories into a darker illustration then the previous version. As to what
stories I have yet to pick. I would pick the most light hearted one I could and
maybe combine it with something from the grim brothers work or just turn it into
something darker. For instance stories like Cinderella, Princess and the Pea, and lastly Curious George.
The next idea I have for a storybook is going into changelings.
For this project I would either come up with a new story revolving around the
idea of changelings that was partially inspired from the reading or the retelling
of several other stories regarding changelings. I may even turn the basis of
the story from dark evil changelings to possibly hopeful where the changeling becomes
a part of the family and they live happily ever after. I still have to work out
which way I would spin it to make it different. Sources: Changeling information, Different Changeling legends.
The third option I have for my storybook is based on
tricksters. I would write it about a couple tricksters meeting. These tricksters
would be from different stories each with their own personalities and tricks up
their sleeves. I may even do it to where they were competing to see who could pull
the most tricks. I would do probably two or three adaptation retelling for two
to three of the chapters. Then the last chapter would include the tricksters
from the previous chapters combined into this one chapter. Sources: Different stories regarding Coyote, Tricksters Wikipedia, Stories about Anansi, Loki.
My last idea for the storybook would revolve around
werewolves. I have always been fascinated with the topic so I would combine the
several different types of werewolves in the different chapters. One of the
chapters I would talk about a man that became a werewolf by dawning a ring that
allowed a wolf spirit to flow into him changing him. This combines both the story
where the man could put on a belt and turn into a werewolf, and the Human
Animals where the wolf spirit comes into the man. Another chapter I would
probably do a spin on Beauty and the Beast, but where the beast was a werewolf
that went on killing sprees, adding a darker tone to the original story. I have
several different ideas based around werewolves that I could do stories about,
these are but a few of my ideas. A few sources; Human Animals, Book of Werewolves.
