I’ve got into fairy tale retellings latly anyone know any good ones?
-Shannon hales Book of a Thousand Days is fantastic.
-Kate Forsyth has written a beautiful book called The Wild girl which is about a girl who knew the brothers grimm and even ended up marrying one of them… her story though is quite sad and tragic.
-Juliet marillier does a great retelling of beauty and the beast her book is called Hearts Blood. Another of her is Daughter of the Forest my all time favorite.
Oh and Beastly by Alex Finn more a modern day interpretation of beauty and the beast. They made it into a movie too a few years ago
ive read it like five time the last 2 months lol. I love it!
I just finished Spindle Fire yesterday. A twist on Sleeping Beauty. I loved it!!
If your looking for a laugh the retelling in these are hysterical. Overly politically correct fairy tales ???
The Wicked Years series by Gregory McGuire gives an interesting look on The Wizard of Oz.
I’m currently reading Alice by Christina Henry which is a retelling of Alice In wonderland after she’s gone down the rabbit hole. It’s pretty good so far, very nitty gritty and dark.
Second on the Grimm Brothers. The originals. Also, “Thousand and One Nights”.
A court of thorns and roses series
A court of thorns and roses series! The lunar chronicals!
Try Angela Carter. She has a collection of short stories that are fairy tales rewritten. I think it’s called Burning Your Boats…
I recently read and really enjoyed Hunted by Meagan Spooner. It’s a Beauty and the Beast retelling.
Does Lunar chronicles count?
Sarah J Maas.
Poison, Charm and Beauty by Sarah Pinborough
Robin McKinley has done a few. I read The Door in the Hedge a couple years ago and have been meaning to read more.
A Tale Dark and Grimm was really good too, esp for a YA series. It’s by Adam Gidwitz.
Kill me softly Sarah Cross! It’s amazing and totally not what I was expecting

Not a fairy tale retelling, but a children’s book fantasy classic retelling: “Tiger Lily” by Jodi Lynn Anderson(retelling of “Peter Pan”, of course).
Once Upon Now.
It’s a collection of short stories written by various artists. These stories were the winners in a contest, so some good tales.
Beastly. I love that book!
I’m retelling Tristan and Isolde currently. “Tristan and Isolde Reloaded”, romantic suspense involving the pharmaceutical industry and human experimentation. It’s a work in progress though, and I upload weekly on my site. Got 6 chapters so far.
C.J Redwine Ravenspire series, I’ve just started the first book The Shadow Queen
Beauty and the clockwork beast. It’s a retelling of beauty and the beast. It is really good
Following ??
The Child Thief and Drown. Both are good
YES!!!! The Bear and the Nightingale
Deerskin by Robin McKinley.
A Beastly Tale- beauty and the beast triology
Dark Fairy Tale Queen Series- 2 books Cinderella & Snow White
An Unfortunate Fairy Tail series
Cute ones that I read for fluff and sexy fun are the Once Upon a Time books by Jill Myles, pretty cheap on Kindle
Lunar Chronicles
Peas and Princesses by Aleese Hughes. It’s quick and fun, but definitely a little dark. I like that type of thing, though. I think her second book is supposed to come out soon, too. I read it through Kindle Unlimited. I think she also sells other editions on Amazon.
