I've read Rose Daughter, Beauty, Ella Enchanted, and Spinde's End, out of the ones you've mentioned. A few others I've read that I found to be good were: Goose Chase, Patirce Kindl; The Goose Girl, Shannon Hale; Beast, I forget the author; and Just Ella, and I forget the author again. Just Ella is more like one of those "What happens after the fairy tale ending?" books. But I love it. And then there are fairy tales you can read at fanfiction.net. I write kinda re-told fairy tales. Just rather... weird fairy tales. But I've seen better ones around, somewhere or other. Oh, I almost forgot one of my favorite re-told fairy tales! Deerskin, Robin McKinley. It's not quite what you'd imagine for a fairy tale, but it's so good. I think it's a mix of Allerleirah (or however you're supposed to spell it), The Goose Girl, and... I forget the otehr I compared it to. But it's based on a fairy tale called Donkeyskin, which was written by... someone. She mentions who in the acknowledgements or something or other. Okay, enough typing.

Quote: I just wish that a few people would concentrate on reminding folks that older versions exist - now that literacy''s so commonplace, it''d be a shame to lose them to time.
heart Oh I fully agree that the originals were awesome, if a bit dark. I have a full set of Grimm's and Anderson's fairy tales printed in 1893 and 1899 respectively on my bookshelf. But I love to see retellings in something other than Disney style (not that I have anything against Disney) because most of them seemed really shallow.
Quote: One of my favorite is Wicked by Gregory McGuire, and i think The Wizard of Oz should be considered fantasy....I mean the WIZARD of Oz?? Anyways it was a great book and in turn made me read his other book, Confessions of An Ugly Step Sister, which is about Cinderella.
FaeDreamer" Quote: I always like WoO, I read most of the originals when I was a kid, they're definitely fantasy. I've seriously been thinking about reading McGuire's stuff, I saw Confessions at the bookstore. Did you like his stuff? biggrin Yes I liked it very much.....I read confessions first and it was really interesting, but I loved wicked. It's not all that much fantasy though....well' that's not true, it's just kinda different, which made me really like it !!
