Week 13 Reading Notes: How Cormac Mac Art went to Faery

How Cormac Mac Art went to Faery
Bibliography: Celtic Fairy Tales (2) unit. Story source: More Celtic Fairy Tales by Joseph Jacobs with illustrations by John D. Batten (1895).Link to Story


The Celtic tales for me have not been as interesting compared to the other readings we were required to read. I think for this story I would use the general idea of the storyline but that is it. My direction if I was to retell the story would be to have Cormac still go and search for his wife and daughter but he would have the assistance of a fairy to get them back. Although from my understanding of the story he found them they were not able to come back with him and no one believed him that he found them. In my story, I would have Cormac find his family and be able to take them back home but no one would believe that a fairy helped him.
