Rump: The True Story of Rumpelstiltskin. and. Princess of Thorns. Rump. is a retelling of Rumplestiltskin and provides details like why he gets a baby. Princess of Thorns is a retelling of Sleeping Beauty and has elements of Swan Princess. I loved the first half, but the rest fizzled for me. I loved Rump.

, a novella set in the same world as Cruel Beauty, and a dark retelling with some interesting twists of Cinderella.
