Aesop, Grimm, and Andersen (and more) discussion

Sounds good to me :) Love that Sigourney weaver snow white film for instance. Think it was called Snow White: A Tale of Terror

Not yet but I'll add em to my tbr :) I've read some of the retelling novels and those were good.

There's also White as Snow by Tanith Lee. There were other novel length books like it too but I can't think of the titles. I'm trying to find them to read myself :)

Also Ellen Datlow edited tons of other fairy tale anthos in this vein.
