  1. If presenting a derivative work, using an external source, like “The Tortoise and Hare,” here are some examples of how this might sound in your speech:

    “Angela and Angelo, an adaptation of the famous fable by Aesop, “The Tortoise and Hare,” with all new characters…”

    “A derivative work of ‘The Tortoise and the Hare,’ by Aesop and Milo Winter, set in modern times with real people.”
