Ollie Kayuro
This summer, I focused on craft books about writing fairy tales. In particular, I read Vladimir Propp's "Morphology of the Folktale" and "The Historical Roots of the Fairy Tale" (often published together). They’re foundational studies of plot functions and motifs, and they gave me practical tools for structuring my own wonder tale.
