INSPIRATION The idea for my book is to depict premier league footballers as characters from legends and fairy-tales. But I’m struggling to think of what to portray a few players as. So for inspiration I decided to make a list of all the different legendary, mythical, fantasy and fairy-tale characters that I could think of. By making a list that I can look through I think it will be easier to comically link characters with the footballers that I want to include in my book. To help with making this list I have researched and thought about film adaptations of legends and fairy-tales to find well known characters and also generic characters which reoccur in fairy-tale stories for example: princes, kings, dragons, witches.
