ONCE UPON A TIME (REMARQUE)

Here a magical storyteller in the woods is telling fables to the characters who are usually in those fables. It’s simply the reverse of what happens in everyday life. Specifically, the knight is patterned after Edward Burne-Jones’ paintings and he is a pre-Raphaelite, romantic painter that Jim quite likes. The woman next to the knight was inspired by "The Lady of Shalott," a painting by William Waterhouse, which is in The National Gallery in London. Jim took her out of the boat, in her costume and had her come and sit down in the woods to be entranced with the story.
