"This is a combination of "The Twelve Dancing Princesses" and "The Frog Prince", its probably my favorite fairy tale retelling that I've read so far... its set in Transylvania and includes the mythological faerie wood etc. I love the writing, the characters are developed and wonderful and the conclusion is everything you want it to be without being too predictable"

"A more direct retelling of "Beauty and the Beast" by Mckinley, that addresses self-esteem and inner beauty in a beautiful, intricate and wonderfully detailed novel"

"I'm not sure how intentional this was, but I believe that this is in many ways a retelling of "Sleeping Beauty", but what do you think? The story is compelling, with delightful characters, and a wonderful ending. It is well written of course, Gail Carson Levine is one of my absolute favorite authors, and I may or may not be the proud owner of a signed copy of "Ella Enchanted"..."

"This is a combination a fairy tales, "Sleeping Beauty", "Cinderella" and probably more that I haven't detected. It is the most adorable story I've ever read. Its targeted toward a younger audience but I still thoroughly enjoy it at the age of 24. It is sweet and gently stereotype defiant story with a great message."

"This is a retelling of the Norwegian Fairy tale "East of the Sun, and West of the Moon" and the very very similar story "The Polar Bear King" This fairy tale has a lot in common with Beauty and the Beast, and of course the legend of "Cupid and Psyche" It is transplanted to contemporary Alaska. The story is beautiful, and Durst brings in a whole new level of redemption that is very moving while still being true to the fairy tale back bone."

"A retelling of "The SIx Swans" or the numerous other versions of the same tale, it is beautifully written, and for me it was a delightful surprise because the fairy tale back bone is not immediately apparent, but its a wonderful story about not judging others, Its set in ancient Ireland or at least something that is meant to be very much like Ireland"

"This is a retelling of "The Twelve Dancing Princesses" She very cleverly has come up with sequels using the rest of the sisters in other fairy tales, so far "Cinderella", and "Red Riding Hood". It is well-written, true to the original, innovative, and engaging."

"another transplanted adaptation of "Beauty and the Beast" McKinley's favorite fairy tale. This one is adventurous, creative, and energetic, the plot is brilliant, the characters marvelous, and the setting socially relevant"

"This is a retelling of "Snow White and Rose Red" not to be confused with "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves", the only similarity between those two fairy tales is a character with skin as white as snow. This book is excellently written, well-researched, and endearing. Excellent character development and again true to the original without being boring, very neatly staged in Elizabethan England and entirely wonderful (in my humble opinion)"

"A retelling of "Snow White" with a rather large twist in which Snow white is not by any means "the fairest of them all""

"A transplanted retelling of "Beauty and the Beast" not as highly praised as some of her other books, but I found it to be poetically beautiful and creative, and it is one of my personal favorites."

"This one is not necessarily an obvious retelling but it seems to combine "Cinderella" and "The Princess and the Pea" or "The Real Princess", with "The Hunger Games". It is well written and engrossing."

"This is a clever retelling of "The Twelve Dancing Princesses" with a hint of "Beauty and the Beast" it is witty and well researched. It is lively and funny. It is different enough that it takes you by surprise but not so different as to ruin the original story"

"This is an inventive retelling of "Rumplestiltskin" It is well-written and believable (if you believe in ghosts that is) It builds on the fairy tale without taking anything away from it and adds unexpected twists that make an old story new and exciting"

"A retelling of "Rumplestiltskin" set with the Irish immigrants of America, the tale is beautiful and real, and a different take of the story than I have ever come across"

""The Frog Prince" set during WWI is again beautiful and real, and one of the absolute best of the "Once Upon A Time" series (some of them are not that great...)"

"a little of Alice and Wonderland meets "Sleeping Beauty" there seriously unexpected twists in this one, thoroughly enjoyable if a bit odd, and very true to the original (not including the second half with the ogress mother-in-law form Perrault's version)"

"This is a rendition of Sheharazad, or 1001 nights, beautiful (and abridged obviously) the characters are especially engaging in this one, Dokey can be hit and miss in my opinion, but when she hits she scores. "

"This one is just fun, it references several different fairy tales including "Snow White" and "Cinderella" but is also a coming of age contemporary novel about some teenage girls who have faults to overcome."

4.08 avg rating — 5,411 ratings

"This is a series of several different fairy tale retellings, simply told, be vivaciously reimagined. targeted for children but with hidden (appropriate) humor for adults. retells: "Sleeping Beauty", "The Princess and the Pea", "Diamonds and Toads", "Rapunzel" "The Princess on the Glass Hill", and "The Golden Goose""

"This is a King Arthur story. Morris is witty and his characters endearing. His language is simple, not overdone, he has written a number of king arthur tales, and although they are all perhaps a little to similar they are enjoyable and interesting. He has done excellent research, and has kindly reminded his readers of many of the arthurian legends we had forgotten or never knew. He doesn't focus on the over done bits like Guinevere and Lancelot which by the way is not really part of the breton king arthur story its a french addition in keeping with there habit of making everything into a tragedy..."
