I am interested in adapting two legends (one Grimm's Snow White, the other a tale from Sanskrit about Krishna and Arjuna) to an illustrated novel format and am wondering if this is considered public domain or if I need to obtain a copyright. Thank you very much!

You don't want to use a modern retelling as your source. Ditto the Krishna material. Make sure it isn't someone else's made-up tale. Jane
