A List of My Favorite Fairy Tale Retellings

I have a few favorite book niches that I enjoy reading, and one of them is Fairy Tale Retellings. The basic idea is that an author takes a favorite fairy tale and then retells it. Sometimes the retelling is loose, and you're left guessing for a while which fairy tale it follows. And then other times it follows the main idea of the story but introduces the tale in a new way. Below are just some of my favorites. Be sure to add them to your Amazon Wish List or make a list to take with you next time you visit the library.

Pin now to remember later!

Favorite Fairy Tale Retellings

Each of these books has a fantasy feeling to it. Some retellings are more modern but these are not. I'm reluctant to giveaway which fairy tale each of these books follows. But if you want to know, you can read the further description on Amazon. I prefer to be surprised. And maybe you do too! Click the book title to find the book.
