I love this week's topic, but I had a hard time just making a list with so many fairy tale retelling topic options! So I ended up kind of making a list and kind of just rambling, but I do mention 10 books/stories. Enjoy!
My all time favorite fairytale retelling is Cress by Marissa Meyer (Rapunzel). I can't wait for Winter to come out! I also have to mention Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas, but since it was very loosely based off of Cinderella I don't really count it as a retelling.
My favorite fairytale retelling type book (I think it is more of a fable) when I was younger had to be The True Story of the Three Little Pigs by Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith.
Some Fairytale Retellings I Want to Read But Haven't Yet
Princess of Thorns by Stacey Jay (Sleeping Beauty)
Rump: The True Story of Rumpelstiltskin by Liesl Shurtliff (Rumpelstiltskin)
Cruel Beauty by Rosamund Hodge (Beauty and the Beast)
While Beauty Slept by Elizabeth Blackwell (Sleeping Beauty)
Strands of Bronze and Gold y Jane Nickerson (Bluebeard)
The Stepsister's Tale by Tracy Barrett (Cinderella)
I wish someone would write a YA retelling of The Princess and the Pea. I feel like someone could remix that into something interesting. I don't know.
What are some of your favorite fairytale retellings? What fairytales do you want to see more of?
