Notable Uses of The Story
Jay's Grave was the inspiration for John Galsworthy's short story The Apple Tree, written in 1916. In the 1970s, knowledge of the legend prompted Martin Turner of British rock band Wishbone Ash to write the lyrics to a song called "Lady Jay" which appears on the band's 1974 album There's the Rub. It also inspired Seth Lakeman to write his 2004 song and album, both called Kitty Jay.

Famous quotes containing the words notable and/or story:
“a notable prince that was called King John;
And he ruled England with main and with might,
For he did great wrong, and maintained little right.”

“When a book, any sort of book, reaches a certain intensity of artistic performance it becomes literature. That intensity may be a matter of style, situation, character, emotional tone, or idea, or half a dozen other things. It may also be a perfection of control over the movement of a story similar to the control a great pitcher has over the ball.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
